Encounters & Identities: Religion in Private and Public Spheres

As a formidable critic of some of society’s most cherished institutions, such as compulsory education and organised religion, Ivan Illich wrote of the need for radical humanism and established an idea of social virtue. This book contains essays by Illich which challenge conventional orthodoxies and include his profound questioning of bourgeois and liberal assumptions. With essays on charity, the clergyman, church, schooling and sexual power and political potency, the essays here contain much that will resonance in the twenty first century, as leaders and figure heads are brought under public scrutiny.
