Voltaire's Bastards by John Saul
A provocative critique of modernity that argues the Enlightenment’s worship of abstract reason and managerial systems has produced a new class of technocratic elites who privilege procedure, efficiency and codified knowledge over moral responsibility, human judgment and communal life; through historical analysis and contemporary examples the author describes how this faith in systems leads to dehumanization, fragile institutions and social alienation, and calls for a recovery of citizenship, ethical imagination and public accountability to restore a more humane politics.
