L'illusion de l'an 2000 PDF By:Jean-Claude Barreau Published on 2014-04-01 by Grasset Qu'allons-nous célébrer, au juste, en l'an 2000 ? Serait-ce la naissance du Christ ? Ou, au contraire, l'idée laïque du progrès, le culte du modernisme, le triomphe de la science d'un troisième millénaire ? Quelles sont les illusions de cette nouvelle manie millénariste ? Avec le sens critique dont il a toujours fait preuve dans ses essais, Jean-Claude Barreau montre que l'homme de l'an 2000 ne devrait pas hésiter entre la tradition et la modernité, mais comprendre que la tradition fonde la modernité. D'Internet trompeur à l'intelligence parcellisée de l'informatique, de la peur du nucléaire à l'écologie misanthrope, de l'intégrisme à visage humain jusqu'à l'état sociétal et tristement dépolitisé, Jean-Claude Barreau pose bien des questions. Où se situe notre avenir ? Du côté du Web ou de l'horreur économique d'une société sans travai...
