I wrote a pair of pieces recently that discuss who Christ and Antichrist are in the thought of Ivan Illich.  For their exposition, they reference the works of Ivan with David Cayley, including his interview series Corruptio Optimi Pessima, and Ivan's 1970s critique of institutions within the broader perspective that the institutional substitution of personal activity is a characteristic of Antichrist.

 

Here they are:

I would be happy to discuss these people and ideas.

 

Thank you for your time,

Hamilton
