Terry Eagleton Zitate

We face a conflict between civilisation and culture, which used to be on the same side. Civilisation means rational reflection, material wellbeing, individual autonomy and ironic self-doubt; culture means a form of life that is customary, collective, passionate, spontaneous, unreflective and irrational.

Terry Eagleton

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wir stehen vor einem Konflikt zwischen Zivilisation und Kultur, der früher auf derselben Seite stand. Zivilisation bedeutet rationale Reflexion, materielles Wohlbefinden, individuelle Autonomie und ironische Selbstzweifel. Kultur bedeutet eine Lebensform, die üblich, kollektiv, leidenschaftlich, spontan, unreflektiert und irrational ist.

You could argue that war is always an irrational act, and yet many states enter into military conflict out of rational calculation or national interest or the stability or longevity of their regime.

William C. Kirby

We shall probably get nearest to the truth if we think of the conscious and personal psyche as resting upon the broad basis of an inherited and universal psychic disposition which is as such unconscious, and that our personal psyche bears the same relation to the collective psyche as the individual to society.

Carl Jung
