Winner takes the thought of Ellul, Mumford, Marcuse, and others and makes their collective insights into the basis for a theory of technological politics that captures exactly what is missing from modern discourse: the effects of the overwhelming influence of modern technology on all forms of human experience. And all this in an academic book that is readable! Highly recommended. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The truth of the matter is that our deficiency does not lie in the want of well-verified "facts." What we lack is our bearings. The contemporary experience of things technological has repeatedly confounded our vision, our expectations, and our capacity to make intelligent judgments. Categories, arguments, conclusions, and choices that would have been entirely obvious in earlier times are obvious no longer. Patterns of perceptive thinking that were entirely reliable in the past now lead us systematically astray. Many of our standard conceptions of technology reveal a disorientation that borders on dissociation from reality. And as long as we lack the ability to make our situation intelligible, all of the "data" in the world will make no difference. ;From the Introduction Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
