The book The System of Insignificance is a book published in the French language under the title: La médiocratie, in which it presents the idea that we live in a period different from the periods of human history, where power is far from the hands of those who can excel in leadership, and it is spread out in the hands of the insignificant people of different degrees and levels.
The matter has evolved until it has become sweeping across all fields, and banality has become a system that is celebrated, and the petty people are able to build a new world that kills creativity and excellence, legitimizes pettiness and backwardness, and makes departure from the traditional system an unacceptable mistake, whatever the motives, and even if the result of renewal is good and good.
The book was translated into Arabic by Dr. Mashael Abdul Aziz Al-Hajri, by relying on the original version issued in French, with reference also to the version that was translated into English.
The translator of the book provided useful information before presenting its chapters, where she talked about the author and his book, then she told us the reason that prompted her to translate the book and her general perspective on translation, with some notes about the English version of the book. Then I moved on to presenting the major theses of the book, and all of that took about 60 pages.
