“…This individualistic theory was based on and reified the individual self, which Geertz (1983) viewed as “a rather peculiar idea within the contexts of the world’s cultures” (p. 59). From some Indigenous perspectives and ones critical of postcolonial reason (Spivak, 1999), and those informed by Southern theory (Connell, 2007), “we-ness” is primary (for an application to transactional analysis, see Tudor, 2016) and “I” comes from “we.” This is recognized among the Zulu as “ubuntu,” among New Zealand Māori as “whanaungatanga,” and appears to be the Korean “shimcheong” (Valsiner & Rosa, 2007). Alternatives to Comte’s inevitable rise of hierarchies in social evolution are now becoming widespread (e.g., Graeber & Wengrow, 2021).…”

In the last 20 years, cognitive science has been revolutionized by enactive cognition. However, claims by enactivists that enactive cognition reforms much of our thinking about the nature of minds, and our relationships with nature and each other, have not always been easy to follow and hence a certain perplexity which has been further confounded by arguments between various enactivists. This article offers some clarification of some of the central claims of enactivism by drawing on past figures in philosophy and psychology, borrowing and extending already popularized metaphors, elucidating some key concepts, and explicating one of the central arguments within enactivism. Combining relevant inferences and intuitions from the past with recent ones from radical enactivism facilitates the emergence of a more responsible and responsive understanding of human nature: one that allows us to attune to each other and to nature more fully. Public Significance StatementOne of a number of approaches to embodied cognition, radical enactivism emphasizes the fact that our fast, intuitive, animal thinking mostly dominates our slower, social linguistic thinking. Separating and reintegrating the two furthers the pioneering work undertaken by Wittgenstein and holds the promise of rectifying our alienation from each other and from nature. This article discusses this important development in cognitive science.

“…We-ness, which although not new in the broader field of psychology, was new to TA and is a concept that Keith has further developed in an article arguing that "we are" (rather than "I'm OK-You're OK") is the fundamental life position (Tudor, 2016). This was picked up Newton and Napper (2007) in their work on supervision and Korpuin (2020) in his work on relational organizational development.…”

This article is the acceptance speech for the 2020 Eric Berne Memorial Award. In it, the recipients offer their thanks for the award and acknowledge the process involved, from initiation to acceptance. This is followed by their reflections on cocreative transactional analysis (TA), stimulated by the statement supporting the nomination focusing specifically on cocreative TA as offering a new metaperspective on TA. They reflect on what theyand others-identify as the specific contributions of cocreative TA to the field over the past 20 years. In the third and final part of the article, the authors offer some thoughts about influences and future directions of cocreativity in TA.

“…Other transactional analysts have also turned to social psychiatry roots to bring in the relevance of context, society and politics. Hence, accounting for 'we-ness' as well as the 'I' has been an important component in transactional analysis and Berne's extension to 'we are OK/they are OK (or not OK)' has been picked up extensively by Tudor (2016). I am writing this article in the midst of the protests that have arisen around the world after the death of George Floyd.…”
