![]() ![]() I’m writing my final year dissertation which is something everyone has to do the last year of Swedish upper secondary school. ![]() Like many other books, I feel like Kallocain really questions what it means to be human, sort of like Frankenstein, which is undoubtedly at the top of the list of books dealing with this subject. This quote stood out to me in particular because it is one time where Leo Kall seems to unknowingly differentiate between a human, and a (human) tool for the state, which is a discussion I found having with myself while reading this. Instead it exists in all of us, but more and less, which is a substantial difference.” ![]() Roughly translated by me: “The infant and Stone Age savage might not only exist in some people, I thought. ![]() “Spädbarnet och stenåldersvilden lever kanske inte bara kvar i somliga, tänkte jag, utan i oss alla, fast mer och mindre, det är en väsentlig skillnad.” When talking to Rissen, Leo Kall once talks about how wanting to share a fellowship or have a community is a Stone Age mindset, however in the next chapter he admits to himself that there is an appeal in having another person to trust and rely on. The society in the book criticises fellowship or kinship between people and praises the loyal relationship between the state and the individual. I’m currently reading Kallocain by Karin Boye and I have some thoughts I want to share. ![]()
