Document Summary
Aliens in nature: key: the notion of alienation, technical term in psychology and sociology: the notion of separation. Today"s thesis: the notion of power as the notion of separation: the two revolutions. nomadic revolution: for the 1st time began to stay in one place and use agriculture. 2nd revolution: everything else since the industrial revolution: the argument is that in the 1st revolution they were not alienated from nature, but from each other. They lived with no need to dominate: warning note: the notion of an idealized past. There was no racism, class domination or environmental problems. the caution: life expectancy was short; a brutal existence. there is not a lot of information of that time. We have data but it is incomplete vs. the type of data we have today. we all have a tendency to romanticize the past: the notion that everything was perfect and we did something to fall from grace.
