内容説明
Numerous studies have examined technological advances and their effects on industry, urbanization, social and economic shifts in power and expertise. "Action into Nature" assesses technology as the constitutional or political essence of the contemporary world. Drawing upon and expanding the work of political theorists such as Eric Voegelin, Leo Strauss, Hannah Arendt, Hans Jonas and George Parkin Grant, Barry Cooper focuses on the technological society as it has altered human consciousness of God, nature, the world and society. "Action into Nature" begins with a brief exploration of the genesis and characteristics of the technological society and clarifies some troublesome questions of method. Part Two presents the most easily accessible meaning of the technological society, its worldliness. Part Three proceeds to critical analysis of the policital significance of technology. Cooper argues that the human capacity for action, which is inherently unlimited, carries with it enormous political consequences when it is directed not into the web of human relationships, which is the usual realm of power and politics, but into nature.
"Action into Nature" examines the significance of that change in the human capacity to act.
