Political Illusion and Reality

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Political Illusion & Reality provides hope for those discouraged by current cruel political realities. Drawing on Jacques Ellul’s deep and illuminating insights, a new narrative is proposed here which allows an exit from traditional social contract clichés. The Jewish and Christian peaceable kingdom myth (Andy Alexis-Baker) enables ‘ideological detoxification.’ Practical essays—by activists like Sylvie Justome and mayors like Noel Mamere and Robb Davis—demonstrate the relevance of this perspective. This is a must-read for regaining spiritual and political courage!”
