摘要

I overview my reasoning from a Behavioral & Brain Sciences review (Moffett 2025a) in which I put forward a concept for a “society” that was used as the starting point for the discussions of a work group that convened at the Department of Psychology at Yale. The stated aim of our group was to investigate the prospects for formulating a perspective on “a society,” in the sense of a well-formed group entity of an enduring kind, that can be applied widely across disciplines. The ultimate hope was to improve the dialogue between biological and social scientists as a step in furthering our understanding of how such groups arise, how they allow for membership changes yet stay intact over time, and what can cause them to break apart. The essays being published alongside this one present the insights and conclusions gleaned from our time together by each work group member.
