In 'Useless Knowledge', Jean-François Revel examines the paradox of living in an era of information overload without this translating into an effective use of knowledge. Revel analyzes the role of intellectuals, the influence of ideology, and manipulation in contemporary society. He questions whether a civilization built on knowledge can survive if it refuses to use it, offering a critical reflection on information and power in today's world.
Jean-François Revel was a French philosopher, journalist, and author. A prominent public intellectual, Revel was a socialist in his youth but later became a prominent European proponent of classical liberalism and free market economics. He was a member of the Académie française after June 1998. He is best known for his book Without Marx or Jesus: The New American Revolution Has Begun, published in French in 1970.
