A Runaway World? by Edmund Leach Provost of King's College, Cambridge and University Reader in Social Anthropology 2: Men and Machines
The traditional distinction between the cultural (what is man-made) and what is natural is fading. Man-made machines imitate nature very closely. Are we then machines and nothing more? The antithesis is false. Every creature is a part of its own culture. Our machines are linked with ourselves as a bird's nest is linked to the bird. The ' I ' is not a detached observer but a system of connectedness-a participant. We become afraid because we try to be separate.
Rptd.: Monday, 7.30 p.m. (Third)
This lecture will be printed in ' The Listener ' dated November 23
