“[There is] a continual search for the source of thought within the individual himself and for the reasons why he thinks in a particular way and not in any other. […] What actually thinks within a person is not the individual himself but his social community [and] the very social atmosphere he ‘breathes.’ His mind is structured, and necessarily so, under the influence of this ever-present social environment, and *he cannot think in any other way*.”

– Ludwig Gumplowicz… (1/2)
