Voltaire's Bastards: The Dictatorship of Reason in the West es una exploración amplia y provocativa de los orígenes políticos, económicos, sociales y culturales de la sociedad occidental. Con gran audacia y originalidad, John Ralston Saul disecciona las contradicciones, los engaños y las ilusiones que han llevado al mundo al borde de la confusión y la crisis, y rompe los mitos que rodean a los iconos e instituciones que nos han enseñado a venerar y apreciar. El libro examina cómo la razón, que una vez fue una fuerza liberadora, se ha convertido en una herramienta de opresión y control en manos de élites intelectuales y políticas.
