Produktbeschreibung
The essays in this edited collection are inspired by Andrew Feenberg's philosophy of technology. Feenberg is the leading critical theorist of technology working today, combining the critical traditions of Karl Marx, Martin Heidegger, Georg Lukáacs, and Herbert Marcuse with empirical methods from science & technology studies (STS) and media studies.

Divided into three parts, these contributions from philosophers, media theorists, design theorists, and STS scholars, reflect the relevancy of Feenberg's philosophy for making sense of our technically mediated society. This collection appeals to students and researchers interested in the philosophy of technology, critical theory, smart cities, big data, AI, and algorithmic culture.

Rezensionen
"An impressive, intense set of readings, Cressman's collection is a valuable scholarly contribution. Price and the final section's philosophical re-ontologizing make it hard to recommend The Necessity of Critique to practitioners not already deeply steeped in philosophy. This volume is worth reading." (Gregory Zobel, Technical Communication, Vol. 70 (3), August, 2023)
