Sowell presents a devastating critique of the mind-set behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Sowell sees what has happened during that time not as a series of isolated mistakes but as a logical consequence of a tainted vision whose defects have led to crises in education, crime, and family dynamics, and to other social pathologies. In this book, he describes how elites,the anointed,have replaced facts and rational thinking with rhetorical assertions, thereby altering the course of our social policy.

Description du produit

Revue de presse

"This is as compelling an explanation as any for the seemingly disproportionate amount of condescension and politically correct invective that emanates from the liberal side of the political spectrum toward the conservative opposition."―Scott McConnell, Wall Street Journal

"As always, Sowell's analysis is well informed and displays a great deal of that increasingly uncommon quality, common sense... In the largest sense, The Vision of the Anointed is a book about the perils of ideology—those dazzling intellectual-moral constructions that seduce the unwary into ignoring the way the world works for the sake of dreams about the way it must."―Roger Kimball, The American Spectator

"Mr. Sowell's eye is sharp, and everyone who has been up against progressive orthodoxy will find his or her own candidate for Most Annoying Liberal Kiss-Off Award."―Suzanne Garment, Washington Times

"Avid conservatives, for whom Sowell is a true-blue intellectual force, will certainly seize upon his analysis for succor."―Booklist

A lire pour comprendre la politique d'aujourd'hui

Commenté en France le 14 juillet 2011

"An eye opener" ! Ce livre va vous expliquer comment fonctionne les gauchistes et pourquoi ils ont tort. Leur système de pensée peut se résumer par : "je suis plus intelligent et plus saint que la plupart des hommes et ma vision doit donc etre imposé aux autres"

Illuminating and Prophetic

Commenté aux États-Unis le 10 août 2023

Achat vérifié

This is the second Thomas Sowell book I have finished reading cover to cover.
I must say it was as fascinating as the last one I read, which was "Black Rednecks and White Liberals".
Do not let the date of its publication discourage you from picking this up. Despite the fact this book was written back in the 90s and most of the incidents and cases mentioned and scrutinized in the book happened from the 60s to the 80s, given the direction much of the Western countries, particularly the US, took in the sociocultural and political spheres in the last 30 years, I'd argue that it is more relevant and more worth reading today than it must have been when it was first published.
In this book, Dr. Sowell mercilessly dissects the egocentric and self-centered minds of "the anointed," those we call "the woke" or Neo-Marxists today and illuminates the dire consequences of their much celebrated "solutions."
From the evasion of empirical evidence to the deconstruction of the long standing traditions to the willful disregard of the Constitution to the calculated use of manipulative language to what Dr. Jordan Peterson calls "pseudo moral superiority" and "narcissistic compassion," Dr. Sowell walks us through the melange of the collective psyche of the anointed and their disturbingly effective tactics in gaining political power and brainwashing the masses.
What would be surprising to many young readers is that their rhetoric hasn't changed much for almost half a century. Indoctrinating young children with radical gender ideologies and transgenderism in schools is their latest attempt to preemptively make decisions, divorcing parents from their roles to raise their own children in their ways. What HAS changed since the time when this book was written is the technology that they can utilize to disseminate their ideologies. In the final chapter, Dr. Sowell talks about the danger in the dramatization of news stories by televised reporting. Fast forward to today, they got the Internet, a far more powerful tool to promulgate their vision. They have even done so in a rather cult-like fashion on social media.
One silver lining though, a significant portion of the book is dedicated to the critical explication of the judicial activism of the Warren Court. Dr. Sowell laments that the subsequent court has failed to undo the damage done by the activist judges. We’re truly blessed to have the post-Trump Roberts Court today, which has been committed to upholding what the Constitution actually states.
To conclude this review, this book should strike a chord with anyone who has been disabused of the narratives of the mainstream media and the doctrines of ostensibly progressive politicians and activists and will most likely provide sufficient explanations as to how their vision has prevailed to the extent that it has to this day.

A very clearly and reasoned examination. While written before the internet revolution, it clearly is salient to today's world and social drivers. A must read for the open-minded who are trying to make sense of the world.

Enigma

The Writings of a Discerning Individual

Commenté aux États-Unis le 27 novembre 2005

Achat vérifié

WOW - this book has been put on my "to read again shelf" - If this is any indication there are only 5 other books there and I read about 100 books a year. Terms such as superlative and magnum opus easily come to mind.

First of all this book is cerebral - the writing is clear and plain but requires thought on almost every page. Therefore, most of those who need it most will not be able to wade through it because to do so would force you to think. Thomas Sowell has dived deep into the muddy waters of the thought patterns of the left (vision of the anointed) and the right (tragic vision). He wants to understand the true motives of the left not just the results of their actions. I will not insult you any further with my word since they will only subtract from this awe-inspiring book. Instead enjoy a few words from the tome itself.

"The focus here will be on one particular vision - the vision prevailing among the intellectual and political elite of our time. What is important about that vision are not only its particular assumptions and their corollaries, but also the fact that it is a prevailing vision - which means that its assumptions are so much taken for granted by so many people, including so-called "thinking people," that neither those assumptions nor their corollaries are generally confronted with demands for empirical evidence. Indeed, empirical evidence itself may be viewed as suspect, insofar as it is inconsistent with that vision."

"(T)he vision of the anointed is not simply a vision of the world and its functioning in a causal sense, but is also a vision of themselves and the moral role in the world. It is a vision of differential rectitude. It is not a vision of the tragedy of the human condition: Problems exist because others are not as wise or as virtuous of the anointed."

"Factual evidence and logical arguments are often not merely lacking but ignored in many discussions by those with the vision of the anointed. Much that is said by the anointed in the outward form of an argument turns out not to arguments at all. Often the logical structure of an argument is replaced by preemptive rhetoric or, where an argument is made, its validity remains unchecked against any evidence, even when such evidence is abundant. Evidence is often particularly abundant when it comes to statements about history, yet the anointed have repeatedly been as demonstrably wrong about the past as about the present or the future - and as supremely confident."

"Those with the vision of the anointed are particularly prone to think of their own philosophy as new, and therefore as adapted to contemporary society, but their framework of assumptions goes back at least two centuries - as does the framework of those with the tragic vision."

"But one of the crucial differences between those with the tragic vision and those with the vision of the anointed is in what they respectively assume that we know how to do. Those with the vision of the anointed are seldom deterred by any question as to whether anyone has the knowledge required to do what they attempting."

"The hallmark of the vision of the anointed is that what the anointed consider lacking for the kind of social progress they envision is will and power, not knowledge. But to those with the tragic vision, what is dangerous are will and power without knowledge - and for many expansive purposes, knowledge is inherently insufficient.

In their hast to be wiser and nobler than others, the anointed have misconceived two basic issues. They seem to assume (1) that they have more knowledge than the average member of the benighted and (2) that this is the relevant comparison. The real comparison, however, is not between the knowledge possessed by the average member of the educated elite versus the average member of the general public, but rather the TOTAL direct knowledge brought to bear through social processes (the competition of the marketplace, social sorting, etc.), involving millions of people, versus the secondhand knowledge of generalities possessed by a smaller elite group. Moreover, the existing generation's traditions and values distill the experiences of other millions in times past. Yet the anointed seem to conceive the issue as one of the syllogistic reasoning of the past versus the syllogistic reasoning of the present, preferring to believe that improvements in knowledge and reason permit the former to be dismissed."

"What is seldom part of the vision of the anointed is a concept of ordinary people as autonomous decision makers free to reject any vision and to seek their own well-being through whatever social processes they choose. Thus, when those with the prevailing vision speak of the family - if only to defuse their adversaries' emphasis on family values - they tend to conceive of the family as a RECIPENT institution for government largess or guidance, rather than as DECISION-MAKING institution determining for itself how children shall be raised and with what values."

"The anointed do no simply HAPPEN to have a disdain for the public, Such disdain is an integral part of their vision, for the central feature of that vision is preemption of the decisions of others."

"Perhaps the most fundamental difference between those with the tragic vision and those with vision of the anointed is that the former see policy-making in terms of trade-offs and the latter in terms of `solutions'."

"The point here is not simply that some people were mistaken in their beliefs and hopes for this particular program, but that they barricaded themselves against all beliefs to the contrary and morally condemned those who express such beliefs. It is this pattern which has been all too characteristic of the anointed, on this and other issues, over a very long span of time."

I hope this woefully small smattering of quotes has helped enlighten you about this great book.

Excellent read, highly recommend

Commenté aux États-Unis le 13 mars 2023

This book thoroughly exposes the (generally leftwing) pseudo-intellectualism that has dominated so many institutions and power centers in the world, particularly in the west, with special focus on the United States.

The book accomplishes this in a fairly concise manner of 9 easy to read, well written and well reasoned chapters supported by a moderate-or-higher amount of examples and historical cases demonstrating various points.

Ultimately the book demonstrates in stunning clarity that American society has more and more come to be dominated by what are like modern day sophists. This class of people, whom Sowell names "the anointed" in sarcastic reference to their own inflated egos and views of themselves, is one which is expertly skilled in rhetoric and highly articulate.

A fundamental flaw in society/human nature is that large swaths of the public are unable to see through the charade that is the verbal cunning of the anointed because they equate verbal skills/articulate speech with high intelligence and virtue. Or they cannot tell the difference between those who are smart and those who appear or sound smart, those who are virtuous and those who appear or sound virtuous, those who want and pursue what's best for society and those who claim to do so, and so on.

And so the anointed are able to achieve huge success in their ambitions through clever manipulation and exploitation of the large swath of society which is gullible and easily manipulated, especially emotionally. Yet virtually whenever the anointed exercise power, they leave a trail of destruction in their wake. But they never examine themselves, their presuppositions, the ultimate effects of their policies, etc. They always find other things to blame, they redouble their commitments, they redefine terms and abuse language, they rewrite history, they slander and demonize their opponents, they silence opposition and debate, they hide or dismiss contrary evidence, and so on.

This book is a walk through all of that, how the anointed tend to think, how they tend to operate, how their various misguided crusades and misadventures come to be, their strategy and tactics for achieving their goals and dealing with their opponents, the gargantuan gaps in their thinking and in their overall processes which serves to insulate them from evidence and from reality itself really, and the disastrous results that they have tended to achieve (and ignore).
