" 'Addiction, in one form or another, characterizes every aspect of industrial society...Dependence on alcohol, food, drugs, tobacco...is not fundamentally different from dependence on prestige, career acheivement, world influence, wealth, the need to build more ingenious bombs, or the need to exercise control over everything' [says social philosopher Morris Berman]...In "Steps to an Ecology of Mind', evolutionary philosopher Gregory Bateson points out that addictive behaviour is consistent with the Western approach to life that pits mind against body". (Glendinning in Roszak 1995)
