I prefer ‘psychacultural’ to ‘psychocultural’ as a matter of taste. A highly individuating life, flourishing well (balancing orientation toward Self [or inner-worldliness] and interpersonal life [or outerworldliness] fruitfully), outgrows prevailing adaptivity, for the sake of autonomy; even outgrowing autonomy’s singularity for the sake of singular proteany (i.e., flexible pespectivity toward self and world variability). Flourishing can be elaborated in terms of highly actualizing intrinsic appeals, exhibiting manifold aspirations, having manifold investments of learning, achieving manifold capabil-ities, manifold conceptions of value, being devoted to many high purposes—being authent-ically and creatively. Flourishing appreciates (or strives to appreciate) the sociocentric mode of ethical sense progressively (beyond normativity in flexible appropriativity). |
