Efter två års översättningsjobb kommer snart BF Skinners - Walden Two ut på svenska. Dessutom har jag lyckats tjata mig till av Studentlitteratur att jag ska få ha med en epilog om boken. Så jag slänger upp mitt utkast här, i tre delar.
Men först: ett citat från en oväntad psykologikramare, Leon Trotskij:
“What is man? He is by no means a finished or harmonious being. // The question of how to educate and regulate, of how to improve and complete the physical and spiritual construction of man, is a colossal problem //. And for that we first have to find out everything about man, his anatomy, his physiology and that part of his physiology which is called his psychology. Man must look at himself and see himself as a raw material, or at best as a semi-manufactured product, and say: ‘At last, my dear homo sapiens, I will work on you.’ ”
