John Blacking Quotes

... we may be able to prove conclusively that all men are born with potentially brilliant intellects... and that the source of cultural creativity is the consciousness that springs from social cooperation and loving interaction... the majority of us live far below our potential, because of the oppressive nature of most societies Picture Quote #1

Does cultural development represent a real advance in human sensitivity, or is it chiefly a diversion for elites and a weapon of class exploitation? Picture Quote #1
Thus, if a composer wants to produce music that is relevant to his contemporaries, his chief problem is not really musical, though it may seem to him to be so; it is a problem of attitude to contemporary society and culture in relation to the basic human problem of learning to be human Picture Quote #1
The ultimate aim of dancing is to be able to move without thinking, to be danced Picture Quote #1
