Has civilization been a good idea? Zerzan doesn't think so. We may need this critical perspective, as the nature of civilization becomes clearer--and more frightening!
Cet auteur américain est un anarchiste, primitiviste, philosophe et écrivain dont l'œuvre critique la civilisation agricole comme intrinsèquement oppressive. Il préconise de s'inspirer des modes de vie des chasseurs-cueilleurs pour imaginer à quoi pourrait ressembler une société libre. Ses critiques portent sur des sujets tels que la domestication, le langage, la pensée symbolique (y compris les mathématiques et l'art) et le concept de temps.

“Read it and you will never think of civilization in the same way again.”—Kirkpatrick SaleThis anthology about "the pathology of civilization" offers insight into how progress and technology have led to emptiness and alienation.
