Description
Some 20 Years After Writing The Technological Society, Jacques Ellul Realized How The Totalistic Dimensions Of Our Modern Technological Milieu Required An Additional Treatment Of The Topic. Writing Amidst The Rise Of Books In The 1970S On Pollution, OverPopulation, And Environmental Degradation, Ellul Found It Necessary, Once Again, To Write About The Global Presence Of Technology And Its FarReaching Effects. The Technological System Represents A New Stage In EllulS Research. Previously He Studied Technological Society As Such; In This Book He Approaches The Topic From A Systems Perspective Wherein He Identifies The Characteristics Of Technological Phenomena And Technological Progress In Light Of System Theory. This Leads To An Entirely New Approach To What Constitutes The Most Important Event Of Our Society Which Has Decisive Bearing On The Future Of Our World. EllulS Analysis Touches On All Aspects Of Modern Life, Not Just Those Of A Scientific Or Technological Order. In The End, Readers Are Compelled To Formulate Their Own Opinions And Make Their Own Decisions Regarding The Way A TechniqueBased Value System Affects Every Level Of Human Life.
