Quote by Herbert Read

The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organic being not merely analogous to an organic being, but actually a living structure with appetites and digestions, instincts and passions, intelligence and reason.

The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organ

Summary

This quote suggests that the ideal society should be viewed as a living organism that possesses characteristics similar to those of a living being. It emphasizes the belief that a society should not be merely compared to a living entity, but rather be seen as one. This implies that a successful society should demonstrate qualities such as desires, the ability to process and understand, and the capacity for logical thinking. By viewing society in this way, the quote encourages a deeper understanding and analysis of the workings and needs of a harmonious and prosperous society.
