Anthropology of technology. Book 3. Criticism of the technical mind. Popkova N.V.

The book continues and completes the topic, which was begun in monographs “Anthropology of Technology: Formation” (ML: URSS) and “Anthropology of Technology: Problems, approaches, Prospects” (M.: URSS). They showed how philosophy during the analysis of technology and technogenic society came to the need to explore the opposite effect of technology on a person - a change in cultural norms and social relations at different stages of technological progress.

The features of technical rationality are considered in this book , which currently displaces other ways of perceiving the world; The axioms of the “technical mind” are distinguished and their manifestations are traced in areas that are far from technical activity. New philosophical approaches to the analysis of techniques that reject these axioms are proposed, which helps to formulate new views on the essence of technology and develop new methods of solving the problems of technogenic society.

The book is intended for philosophers and scientists working in the field of anthropology and social assessment technicians, as well as teachers and students of technical universities.
