Technological Consciousness in the Thought of Jacques Ellul

By Oleg Vasilyevich Yaroshin

The dissertation is about Jacques Ellul, a French philosopher and theologian of the

second half of the twentieth century. A critic of modernity, Ellul focuses on the ill effects of our

obsession with technology, leading to its idolization. The technological development has created

a new type of consciousness in the modern person, a technocratic consciousness, which Ellul

calls "technique." Technique leads to spiritual degradation, replacing fundamental human values

with a single value of efficiency.
