PDF-(READ)-The Territorial Imperative: A Personal Inquiry into the Animal Origins of Property

A territory is an area of space which an animal guards as its exclusive possession and which it will defend against all members of its kind In this revolutionary book Robert Ardrey takes a concept familiar to every biologist brings together for the first time a fair sampling of all scientific observations of this form of behavior and demonstrates that man obeys the same laws as does many other animal species With African Genesis Mr Ardrey stirred up enough storm to last an author one would think for a lifetime In The Territorial Imperative however he explores more deeply and incisively mans evolutionary nature and threatens even more forcefully some of our most precious assumptions In a time when we attribute to man either no instincts at all or instincts too weak to be of significance Mr Ardreys conclusions concerning the instinctual force exerted on human life by territory will undoubtedly raise an even greater storm The author concludes for example that a common cause for war lies in our ignorance of mans animal nature in particular in the aggressors ignorance of the enormous animal energies which his intrusion will release in a seemingly weak territorial defender In a quite different vein he concludes that family loyalty and responsibility in men no less than in gibbons or beavers or robins rests on joint attachment to a private territory Perhaps the authors most farreaching most controversial conclusion is that morality our willingness to make personal sacrifice for interests larger than ourselves has its origins in dim evolutionary beginnings is as essential to the life of the animal as to the lives of men and could probably not exist in the human species without property either privately or jointly defended and the ultimate command of the territorial imperative Like its predecessor The Territorial Imperative is a work of wit of literary wealth of high adventure Again the author draws on his inexhaustible knowledge of animal ways and again his wife presents her intriguing sketches of animal life But this time Mr Ardrey takes his readers on far deeper excursions into the ancient animal world and on far deeper penetrations of the contemporary human wilderness While evolutionary science has advanced markedly since Ardreys times his insights on human behavior have a timeless quality and The Territorial Imperative remains a classic reference for anyone wishing to begin an adventure exploring lifes biggest questions Praise for the 1966 edition One of the most exciting books about the nature of man that has ever been presented Newsday Robert Ardreys vision of mans future is as hopeful as any doctrinaire utopians and in my opinion a good deal more interesting He ranks as the lyric poet of human evolution a superb writer with a special vision E O Wilson One of the most intellectually exciting books of humanized sciences we have ever recommended in the Clubs long history a fascinating inquiry into the nature of the human animal and an invaluable as well as beautifully written treatise on recent extensions of the boundaries of the biological sciences Clifton Fadiman BookoftheMonth Club News This is a fascinating stimulating fruitful thoughtprovoking and irritating book Dr Abraham Maslow Department of Psychology Brandeis University Few books are as fresh in concept lively in style and potentially important in understanding human behavior Wall Street Journal I expected an interesting and fascinating book but did not anticipate a splendid compendium of facts and principles beautifully and vigorously described C R Carpenter Professor of Psychology and Anthropology Penn State University Ardrey belongs to the long and distinguished tradition of firstrate scientific amateurs the love of science especially biological science animates every page The New Yorker. 1 1 0 lim 0 lim 6 Output Feedback Controller 61 Observer Design brPage 5br 0 0 62 Controller Design 2 brPage 6br Remark 2 63 Composite ObserverController Sta bility Analysis Theorem 2 lim 0 lim 1 1 0 0 1 6 min max max Proof 1 A Common Starting Point: Agrarian Bureaucracy.

Act always on the principle that ensures that all individuals will be treated as ends in themselves and never as merely a means to an end.. “Violation of biological command has been the failure of social man. Vertebrates though we may be, we have ignored the law of equal opportunity since civilization’s earliest hours. Sexually reproducing beings though we are, we pretend today that the law of inequality does not exist. And enlightened though we may be, while we pursue the unattainable we make impossible the realizable.”In his two previous books, Robert Ardrey exploded a series of philosophical landmines. African Genesis (1961) fundamentally altered the understanding of man\'s relationship to his evolutionary forebears. The Territorial Imperative (1966) so saturated the cultural imagination that its title is in everyday use. The third in this series, The Social Contract denies that men are created equal, but insists they deserve absolute equality of opportunity. Since the publication of Rousseau’s Social Contract two centuries ago, men have wasted social resources, converted education into brain-washing, and ignored the primacy of natural law in pursuit of a goal of equality that is neither desirable nor possible. Discarding the myth, Ardrey combined his wealth of knowledge of animal ways with cutting edge biology to probe the perplexing problems of his time: the revolt of the young, the status struggle and the role of leadership, population control, urban overcrowding, violence in civilized life. \"20 minutes ago -
