The Cult Of Incompetence (1916)

The Cult of Incompetence is a book written by Emile Faguet and published in 1916. The book is a scathing critique of the French educational system, which Faguet argues is promoting incompetence and mediocrity. Faguet argues that the French education system is focused on rote learning and memorization, rather than critical thinking and creativity. This, he contends, has led to a culture of mediocrity and a lack of innovation in French society. Faguet also criticizes the political and social institutions of France, which he sees as perpetuating this culture of incompetence. He argues that the French people have become complacent and resigned to their fate, and that this is hindering their ability to progress and compete with other nations. The book is a call to action for the French people to reject this culture of incompetence and embrace a more innovative and forward-thinking approach to education and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
