(For the historically inclined: is this not just a repetition but a recapitulation in the psychological sense of the naturalism which arose out of the reactionaries' response to the American and French revolutions and the Napoleonic wars ? The insistence that man ignore his ability to view nature from outside and instead only function as an unthinking cog within its systems ? Rather than engage in the harder task of synthesizing valid ethics and then living according to them, consciously and deliberately ? We're not to be trusted with our abilities. Cry the fascists...)
