		THE DEATH LAST December of Ivan Illich, the most radical critic of late-industrial institutions and the most unsettling prophet of the age of ecology, was greeted with an embarrassed stutter of tributes.

		Illich was for living convivially and simply in the "vernacular." That is with friends, community and the actual world that surrounds you and with the natural abilities with which you are endowed.
		Illich maintains that the deschooling of society is merely part of a larger quest for the reestablishment of society's control over their community and environment.
		Illich links schooling and modern ideas of education to the belief in endless progress and the ultimate abolition of "Necessity." What starts out as a program in humanism ends up as a formula for the destruction of what it is to be human.

	Instead of a Blog - The Death of Ivan Illich, by Wirkman Virkkala
		Ivan I. thought that means could and should perfectly match a few (and only a few!) carefully chosen ends.
		I wonder not what Ivan Illich would say to this (or my other) rant against his thought, but what (the fictional) Ivan Ilyich might have said.
		I'm sure Ivan I. had a theory about this, but I'm not going to read his terrible prose or endure his utopian pose to find out what it is. Besides, when confronted with someone as wrong-headed as Illich, I become sympathetic with Everyman, not with the radicalism.

		If you're unfamiliar with Ivan Illich and his penetrating critique of the modern, industrialized, commodified, Western way of life, this is not the book for you.
		Illich the visionary anarchist champions autonomy, communities of people working and caring for each other rather than depending on anonymous professionals, nurturing deep friendships, and living free of artificially imposed hierarchies.
		Though Illich has largely been dismissed in the U.S. since the early 1970s (when Deschooling Society actually got him 15 minutes on the Dick Cavett show), I understand that in Europe and in "developing" nations, he is widely regarded as one of the more incisive social critics.

	Ivan Illich
		What makes Illich interesting at this point in history, when the end of the cold war no longer forces us to align ourselves with crudely defined blocks (LeftWing, RightWing), is that neither side (and his writing was mainly done when there seemed to be sides) liked what he had to say.
		Illich sees much of the horror of the modern western world, with its deep poverty and dependence on all those institutions he railed against for all those decades, as essentially a corruption of some quite radical ideas that Jesus put forth.
		Illich is particularly concerned with the parable of the Good Samaritan, whose lesson, he argues, got co-opted and misused by the Church long ago and which in turn gave rise to today's service institutions.

		On disait à l'époque qu'Ivan Illich était un homme intelligent qui aimait à s'entourer de gens intelligents et qu'il lui était difficile de dissimuler son mépris à l'égard des personnes qu'il trouvait stupides.

	A Turbulent Priest in the Global Village by Richard Wall
		"Ivan Illich was well ahead of his time in identifying and classifying the health hazards of the ‘medicalisation of society.’ He used medicine as an example of his general thesis that industrialisation and bureaucracy were appropriating areas of life previously regarded as personal.
		Illich fundamentally mistrusted the goals of infinite progress and economic development as implemented by aid agencies and the like, and especially ideas such as ‘sustainable development,’ which he felt was just one more mechanism of artificial control, leading mainly to a mushrooming of self-perpetuating international bureaucratic organizations.
		Ivan Illich, a man who belonged to many nations and yet to no particular nation, was a turbulent priest in the global village.
