The Necessity of Critique: Andrew Feenberg and the Philosophy of Technology

Book Overview

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 Luk acs, 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.
