“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

"Freedom in Unfreedom." I'm shelving my books in my new office, and found this. It's a photocopy. It was given in February 1965 and it's translated from German. I think it's Adorno. Yes?

If it begins "I attempted the day before yesterday ..." it's Lecture 22 in Adorno's History and Freedom, Lectures 1964-1965 / Polity Press 2006
