Krader comments on Mauss's essay on the development of the person not in the Western World but as an organicism of man in his universal mode of being. Therefore Krader asserts that Mauss should have added Hegel to his list of philosophers. The idea of the person is a construct arising out of problems in law, theology, morals, and economy. Only one final remark in a footnote seems to have any bearing on psychoanalysis. Linnaeus thought the larval stage in the life cycle masks the true imago of insects. This is an inversion of the Latin word according to which the imago would mask the larva. The early analysts used the version of Linnaeus. They used imago to denote the final perfect form of personality that remains largely unchanged after a certain age for one's entire lifetime.
