Ivan Illich  

Definition

  • Ivan Illich (1926–2002) was a one-time Catholic priest, Austrian philosopher, and anarchist social critic of various forms of professional authority. His foremost critique of modern culture was that bureaucratic institutions tend to act counter to their original, rational purpose, thereby undermining people's confidence in themselves and their ability to solve their own problems.
