Homo duplex is a view promulgated by Émile Durkheim, a macro-sociologist of the 19th century, saying that a man on the one hand is a biological organism, driven by instincts, with desire and appetite and on the other hand is being led by morality and other elements generated by society. What allows a person to go beyond the "animal" nature is the most common religion that imposes specific normative system and is a way to regulate behaviour. Left unchecked the individualism leads to a lifetime of seeking to slake selfish desires which leads to unhappiness and despair. On the other hand collective conscience serves as a check on the will. This is created by socialisation. Highly anomic societies are characterized by weak primary group ties—family, church, community, and other such groups. ==Quotes== ;Émile Durkheim

Sigmund Freud used these ideas in his essay ''Civilisation and its Discontents'', he wrote civilisation is created through restraint - is "built up upon a renunciation of instinct"〔https://archive.org/stream/CivilizationAndItsDiscontents/freud_civilization_and_its_discontents_djvu.txt〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Homo duplex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
