SAUL, JOHN RALSTON — The Unconscious Civilization

Toronto, House of Anansi Press. 1995, 1st Canadian Edition. (ISBN: 0887845762) Soft cover. Book, "Our society, John Ralston Saul argues in the 1995 Massey lectures, is only superficially based on the individual and democracy. Increasingly it is conformist and corporatist, a society in which legitimacy lies with the specialist or interest groups and decisions are made through constant negotiations between these groups. The paradox of our situation is that knowledge has not made us conscious, Instead we have sought refuge in a world of illusion where language is cut off from reality.199p.Looks unread, but paper slightly aged, else as new.
