Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores common bourgeois expressions, known as commonplaces, through the lens of Catholic theologian and writer LÃ on Bloy in the early 1900s. The author analyzes 22 of the most frequently used phrases, demonstrating how these seemingly innocuous sayings are tied to the bourgeois worldview and moral compass, revealing the depth of their hubris and hypocrisy. The author provides historical and literary context for each phrase, examining the transformation of these expressions. Bloy argues that these expressions become vehicles for the bourgeois to deflect responsibility, silence opposition, and perpetuate their own self-interested agenda. However, the author also acknowledges that many bourgeois are well-intentioned but blinded by these commonplaces. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to critically examine the language and beliefs of the bourgeoisie and their impact on society throughout history.
