In this book, and following in an honourable tradition which I have found best expressed in the work of Raymond Williams, I have wanted to present a good materialist argument about the nature of human sociality. My argument, briefly stated, is simple: while each and every one of us is manifestly an individual, whose life and wellbeing matters, humans and their wellbeing are not most fully understood unless the fundamentally social nature of human existence is properly taken into account. This – our fundamental sociality – is lived in our inner, as well as outer, world; and it is emotional as well as physical; and all this – our essential social being – is written on our bodies in terms of flourishing or (its opposite) illness.
