About this book

The book is The Civilization of Illiteracy by Mihai Nadin. The contents list names, among others, Literacy in a Changing World, Thinking about alternatives and Book One The Chasm Between Yesterday and Tomorrow. The author writes that literacy can be seen as a form of commitment, one among the successive commitments that individuals make and the human species enters.

The author writes that with the ideal of literacy we inherited the illusion that to understand human beings is to understand human language. A section headed Religion and efficiency says that in the literate forms of language experiences, not only religion, but also science and the humanities, literature, and politics are established and subjected to the practical test of efficiency. The text says Kung-Fu-tzu (551-479, BCE), whose Latinized name is Confucius, expressed the logical requirement to rectify the names.
