Le syndrome Tarzan. L'émancipation et la domestication de l'être humain

Larry Portis, The Tarzan Syndrome : On the Emancipation and Domestication of Human Beings Is the conditioning of human behavior such in industrial-capitalist societies that people have lost any aspiration for alternative ways of living ? Have they been so "domesticated" by their successive masters that they have lost any desire or will to achieve indépendance ? In fact, we know little about the interaction between biology and the environment. But questions concerning « human nature » are more open than ever, and it is impossible to separate them front political life.Portis Larry. Le syndrome Tarzan.
