Autonomous Technology Technics-out-of-Control as a Theme in Political Thought

 1. "Despite it's widely acknowledged importance, however technology itself has seldom been a primary subject matter for political and social enquiries. While technological developments are commonly cited as among the most important causes of the shape of modern society. The tendency has been to see the matter solely in terms of economics and economic history, perspective as that due to their special modes of abstraction and selectively gives us a very limited vision of the role of the technique have played in modern history"

 

2. " Although virtually limitless in their power, our Technologies are tools without handles. Often they seem to resist guidance by preconceived goals or standards. Far from being neutral, about technologies provide a positive content to the area of life in which they are applied, enhancing certain ends, denying or even destroying others".

 

3. " The method of carefully and deliberately dismantling technologies, epistemological luddism if you will, is one way of recovering the buried substance upon which our civilizations rests. Once unearthed, that substance could again be scrutinized, criticised and judged"
