Before mastering of fire, man placed meat on a stone to be warmed by the rays of sun. This habit brought heaven and earth, man and the sun into intimate juxtaposition. The discovery of cooking literally set back the sphere of the gods and of the sun from the habitat of man. It also separated man from the great world of animals who eat their food raw. It is thus an immensely important step in the metaphysical ecological, psychic severance of the genus Homo sapiens from his cosmic and organic surroundings. That severance (there are definite echoes from Freud’s ‘Beyond the Pleasure Principles’ and ‘Civilization and its Discontents’) leads to the differentiation and strenuous confrontation between the natural and cultural stages of human development.~ Page 247
