Without liberty, man is a syncope. Can anyone help me ? What does syncope mean?

I've never heard of it called that, but according to defintions linked to by Google it is fainting.

In the quote it probably means something along the lines that people act like mindless drones when they become content without having liberty.

Zanthrick, thanks.

I heard it in the movie"Good will hunting", Matt damon said it in court for defencing for himself. It's great that you can reply me.
