People are bodies

The picture which emerges from a scientific analysis is not of a body with a person inside, but of a body which is a person in the sense that it displays a complex repertoire of behavior. . . . What is being abolished is autonomous man — the inner man, the homunculus, the possessing demon, the man defended by the literatures of freedom and dignity. His abolition has long been overdue. . . . Science does not dehumanize man, it de-homunculizes him.[22]
Thank you both! I can die happy. I've looked for that quote for years. Of course, most of my looking was before the age of PCs and the Internet. I first read that line around 1970 or '71.
