Technology and Morality
Technology and Morality

Summary/Abstract: The relation of technology and morality is wider than simply the moral critique of technology and its uses. But even this last takes varied forms in the socialist and tin the bourgeois world. For the most part, while the socialist world 'sees technological development as the necessary basis for the progressive expansion of human powers, the bourgeois world, in the economically developed countries, can afford the luxury of pessimism in raising the question »Is it all worth while?« and of intellectual revolt against technology and its parental sciences. To a great extent this is an aberrant romanticism or an ideological sigh of the status quo in the face of social changes made necessary by technological advance. But that is not the whole picture.
