Book Reviews of The Way of Ignorance: And Other Essays
Book Review: Wendell Berry is a national treasure.
Summary: 5 Stars
Poet, philosopher, essayist and farmer, Berry brings together a brilliant collection of essays to critique contemporary America's cultural obsession with bigness and corporate domination. Berry's insightful critique is balanced by a call for a return to local scales of economy and ecology. To reach that goal we, each one of us, are in need of transformative thought and action. This is no small task given personal and social institutions, but it is essential for healing and developing an authentic notion of "the good." Perhaps the most important step in this transformation is that we accept the "wisdom of humility" as a guide to break free from the shackles of arrogant ignorance that so predominates in our modern political/economic/social institutions. In particular, the essays entitled "The Way of Ignorance," "Quantity vs. Form," and "The Burden of the Gospels" are sheer brilliance, to be read again and again. Wendell Berry is a national treasure.
