Jean-Claude Michea Book order
Jean-Claude Michéa is a French philosopher and professor of philosophy, whose essays primarily explore the thought and work of George Orwell. He is a sharp critic of the contemporary left, which he views as having succumbed to a "religion of progress" and become detached from the working class. Michéa champions collective moral values against individualism and liberalism, arguing that liberal bourgeois ideals have subsumed socialism. He also examines the impact of modern doctrines on popular sports and suggests that education has shifted from general culture towards preparing individuals for economic competition.
