Superid and Member-Psyche

Freud subscribes to the proposition Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny, without considering that it implies that the development of a Member of the Species is a function of the development of the Species, and, therefore, that the behavior of the former is determined by the interests of the latter.  He, thus, does not consider that a Member-Psyche is a manifestation of some Species-principle, and can be called a Superid.  Now, two dimensions of any Species-principle are the variety and the cohesion of its Members.  Correspondingly, the function of the Ego that forms from the Superid is to both differentiate from others, and associate with them, a simultaneity that requires striking a balance.  In contrast, Freud's concept of Society is essentially one of hostility to an Ego that is capable of only reactive adaption.  Similarly, a Superid has no need of a Superego, i. e. since coordination with the social environment is part of the function of its Ego.  Accordingly, the terms of Marcuse's are significantly modified.  These contrasts are indications of how Psychology is transformed when its basic unit, the individual Psyche, is conceived not as a primitive given, but as a Member-Psyche that expresses some Species-principle.
