Items related to The Unconscious Civilization
In this intellectual tour de force, Saul argues that the West now toils unconsciously in the grip of a stifling 'corporatist' structure that serves the needs of business managers and technocrats as it it promotes the segmentation of society into competing interest groups and ethnic blocks. The paradox of our situation is that knowledge has not made us conscious. Instead, we have a weakness for ideology, and have sought refuge in a world of illusion where language is cut off from reality.
