In this intellectual tour de force, Saul argues that the West now toils unconsciously in the grip of a stifling 'corporatist' structure that serves the needs of business managers and technocrats as it it promotes the segmentation of society into competing interest groups and ethnic blocks. The paradox of our situation is that knowledge has not made us conscious. Instead, we have a weakness for ideology, and have sought refuge in a world of illusion where language is cut off from reality.

Zustand: Good. : En 'La civilización inconsciente', John Ralston Saul argumenta que nuestra sociedad se basa solo superficialmente en el individuo y la democracia. Cada vez más, es conformista y corporativista, una sociedad en la que la legitimidad reside en grupos de especialistas o de interés y las decisiones se toman mediante negociaciones constantes entre estos grupos. La paradoja de nuestra situación es que el conocimiento no nos ha hecho conscientes. En cambio, hemos buscado refugio en un mundo de ilusión donde el lenguaje está separado de la realidad. Reconectar el lenguaje con la realidad, aclarar lo que entendemos por individualismo y democracia, hacer que estas realidades sean fundamentales para la vida del ciudadano, identificar las ideologías para controlarlas, son algunos de los primeros elementos de equilibrio que Saul propone en estas conferencias.
