PREFACE; INTRODUCTION; I: The Myth of Education; II: A Question of Witness; III: A Catastrophic Break; IV: A Flame in the Dark; V: The Last Frontier of Arrogance; VI: The Double Ghetto; VII: The Mask of Love; VIII: Walking the Watershed; IX: A Generation Rid of Stuff; X: A Cosmos in the Hands of Man; NOTES.;For more than fifteen years, iconoclastic thinker Ivan Illich refused to be interviewed. Finally, in 1988, CBC's David Cayley persuaded Illich to record a conversation. This first interview led to additional sessoins that continued until 1992 and are now gathered in Ivan Illich in Conversation. In these fascinating conversations, which range over a wide selection of the celebrated thinker's published work and public career, Illich's brilliant mind alights on topics of great contemporary interest, including education, history, language, politics, and the church.
