Reflections on Ivan Illich's Critiques of Institutions and Society
The chapter delves into the speaker's past encounters with Ivan Illich and their discussion on Illich's critiques of educational and societal institutions. It explores Illich's concept of de-schooling, the evolution of institutions into radical monopolies, and the loss of revolutionary hopes from the 60s post-1980s. The conversation also reflects on the pandemic response, societal shifts in mentalities, and the implications of generalized approaches in medicine and public health.
