How the sense of Us is born: from We-go to Ego
As defined by Freud, the Ego is the barycentre of the life of the psyche; at the same time, social experience and research have proven the importance of a sense of collective self (We-go), which is shaped early on, starting from birth, through our interactions with others. Throughout our development and adolescent years, we learn to share our emotions and understand the point of view of others: that is, to enter into an intersubjective perspective. This particular social skill has allowed the human race not only to survive, but to conquer the planet and construct complex societies. It is not just a mental skill: research in neurobiology has proven it is rooted within our brains. After decades of unrestrained individualism, rediscovering a sense of collective self can help us recover our capacity for collaboration, one of humanity's great resources.
