“The application of psychoanalysis to sociology must definitely guard against the mistake of wanting to give psychoanalytic answers where economic, technical, or political facts provide the real and sufficient explanation of sociological questions.

“A human being without the proper empathy or feeling is the same as an android built so as to lack it, either by design or mistake. We mean, basically, someone who does not care about the fate which his fellow living creatures fall victim to; he stands detached, a spectator, acting out by his indifference John Donne's theorem that "No man is an island," but giving that theorem a twist: that which is a mental and a moral island is not a man.” MenGivingHumansMeanDoeFeelingsCareFallHuman BeingsActingMistakeMoralFateDesignCreaturesEmpathyBuiltFellowsVictimIndifferenceIslandsTwistsSpectatorsDetachedLiving CreaturesTheoremsAndroidsActing OutDonne Author:Philip K.
