« It was only in the 1920s that the focus of psychology shifted radically from "feeling" to "behaviour"; at the same time emotions and passions have disappeared from the field of vision of a large number of psychologists as so many meaningless notions, at least from a scientific point of view. The main objective of the dominant school in psychology has become "behaviour," not "man behaving".- The science of the psyche has evolved into the science of the mechanics of animal and human driving. This development culminated in Skinner's neo-behaviorism, a psychological theory that is today the most widely accepted in U.S. universities. »

« The teacher is educated by his students, the actor is stimulated by his audience, the psychoanalyst is healed by his patient - as long as they do not treat each other as objects, but that they are in reciprocal relationship in an authentic and productive way. »

« For Marx, alienation means that man does not appropriate the world but that the world, nature, others and himself, remain strangers to him. It is objects - even if they are created by him - that are above him. The alienated individual contemplates the world and contemplates himself passively, as the subject separate from his object. »
