Технологии власти. Власть технологии

The experience of history convincingly proves that the technological revolutions that took place in the world were most often followed by social, cultural and political revolutions. Rationalization, without which not a single technical revolution could do, changed the earlier cognitive and institutional structures of society, making its significant contribution to the revolutionary processes. At the same time, technology offered the domestic and individual consciousness its own logic and its own language of communication. The structures of power and law accepted them, often finding themselves in a situation of risk generated by the irrational and "spiritual" nature of technology. The machine became a god and a demon for human existence. .The proposed monograph presents an analysis of the interaction of ideas and processes that form the basis of power technologies and legal techniques in the context of their historical development.
