Noël Mamère

Political Illusion and Reality

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The essays in this international collection can only help Jacques Ellul to be recognized, at last, as one of the great thinkers of our time. They do real justice to someone who anticipated the political and philosophical crises which stretch across the so-called developed world in the present. If we want to understand where we are today, we must read and reread Ellul. This book from an International Jacques Ellul Society colloquium at Berkeley, California, will help everyone to better grasp the universal relevance of Ellul’s thought. Even in France, where we often quote the saying ‘A prophet is not without honor save in his own country,’ I hope this indispensable collection will also be translated and published in France.”
