Always glad to have someone else speaking up for the incredibly work of Ivan Illich, Peter! Illich's work remains pivotal in my own philosophy, but it is a challenge to get folks to appreciate why these ideas are so important. The transformation of thought during Illich's lifetime makes it far, far harder to appreciate his critique afterwards, although I entirely agree with you here that it dovetails with Heidegger's concerns very well.
