« Despite the great differences between behaviorist and instinctive theory, they have in common their fundamental orientation. They both exclude the "person," the "behaving man," from their field of vision. Whether man is the product of conditioning or the product of animal evolution, it is exclusively determined by conditions outside it; he plays no role in his own life, he has no responsibilities, not even a trace of freedom. Man is a puppet driven by strings: instinct or conditioning. »

« "On the one hand, man is similar to many animal species, in that he fights his own species. But on the other hand, it is, among thousands of species that fight, the only one where the struggle is destructive... The human species is the only one to commit massacres, the only one that does not adapt to its own society." N. Tinbergen »
