Known best to those in his immediate community, the writers of Eugene J. Burkart are a radical collection of observations and insights by one of the most significant writers to emerge from the circle of renowned philosopher and scholar Ivan Illich. Through short parables printed in newspapers or spoken at gatherings, Burkart's writings assemble two visions of modern life. One is America's extreme faith in nationalism, money, war, vanity, and degradation. The other is of those who bear witness, and wittingly or unwittingly resist in small acts, everywhere. Gently, the writings of Eugene Burkart lead us toward a deeper understanding of life in the modern world.
