Description

From probably the most greatest French philosophers of the 20th century, comes a seminal study and critique of propaganda. Taking not just a psychological approach, but a sociological approach as well, Ellul’s book outlines the taxonomy for propaganda, and in the end, it’s destructive nature towards democracy. Drawing from his own experiences fighting for the French resistance against the Vichy regime, Ellul offers a unique insight into the propaganda machine. 

“A much more frightening work than any of the nightmare novels of George Orwell. With the logic which is the great instrument of French thought, [Ellul] explores and attempts to prove the thesis that propaganda, whether its ends are demonstrably good or bad, isn’t just destructive to democracy, it’s in all probability the most serious threat to humanity operating in the brand new world.”—Los Angeles 

“The theme of Propaganda is moderately simply . . . that when our new technology encompasses any culture or society, the result is propaganda . . . Ellul has made many splendid contributions on this book.”—Book Week
