Fragment d’un questionnaire social

[VANEIGEM, Raoul]. [Fragment d’un questionnaire social].n.p.: n.p., n.d. 2 p.; 21 x 27 cm.; black ink on cream stock

Except from a never-published “social questionnaire” by Raoul Vaneigem. It was supposed to include 60 statements, but only 31 were written (or preserved?). Statements – to which respondents were to respond by ++ (strongly agree), + (agree), o (neither agree nor disagree), – (disagree), — (strongly disagree) – include: (3) War is inherent to human nature; (18) The death penalty is barbaric and ought to be abolished; (31) The concept of God is a a product of the human mind

It is not entirely clear how the answers were to be used….
