Product Description

Product Description

Thoroughly revised, this new edition of Critical Theory of Technology rethinks the relationships between technology, rationality, and democracy, arguing that the degradation of labor--as well as of many environmental, educational, and political systems--is rooted in the social values that preside over technological development. It contains materials on political theory, but the emphasis has shifted to reflect a growing interest in the fields of technology and cultural studies.

First Sentence
It is widely believed that technological society is condemned to authoritarian management, mindless work, and equally mindless consumption. Read the first page

Excellent book 1 May 2009
Format:Paperback
An excellent book - perfect for the purpose of learning basic stuff about philosophy of technology.

The style of writing, however, is a bit boring and unclear...

Highly recommended for scholarly studies as well as an introduction to the topic.

Incisive and Thorough 14 Jan 2012
By Andrew R. Brown - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book provides an optimistic outlook on the relationship between people, technologies, society and the environment. It is thorough and sometimes dense with references and academic counterpoints. Feenberg is aware of the risk of abstraction and does his best to ground his ideas in practicalities, but still does not always provide sufficient concrete suggestions about directions forward. There is an unapologetic socialist agenda to Feenberg's project and while this is by no means orthodox or overwhelming his proposals do seem unnecessarily constrained by concerns over class and power struggles at times. The book is well written and reveals a thoughtful and sharp mind at work. Recommended to all concerned with the role of technology in shaping our future.
