Progress and Disillusion Dialectics of Modern

Written in 1964-1965 for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, this essay was granted, in 1969, to the mood of opinion in Western countries. After a quarter of a century of economic growth, modern society, dubbed in France a consumer society and elsewhere an affluent society, must face new assaults. (...) Everything happens as if the disillusions of progress, created by the dialectic of modern society, and, as such, inevitable, were tested by the young generation of the sixties with such intensity that endemic dissatisfaction expresses himself in revolt. At the same time, the observer questions the meaning of this explosion, the direction in which modern society could respond to the desires it arouses, appease hunger, perhaps more spiritual than material, which it does.
