Anotace knihy

Excerpt from World Technology and Human Destiny Raymond Aron conceived, prepared, and directed the Basel-Rheinfelden conference. The need for it had become increasingly clear in the course of the preceding conferences organized under the presidency of Michael Polanyi. The over-all title given them was "Tradition and Evolution." The technical revolution is spreading throughout the world; new techniques are revolutionizing our way of life. But does the industrial society dictate to the mind - to the point of imposing a determined ideology upon it - or do our moral values allow us to impress various forms on this society? Necessity and liberty, the one and the many, instrumental values and ultimate values present questions of a philosophical nature that Raymond Aron felt should be discussed by philosophers, but not in an abstract way. The originality of the Basel-Rheinfelden conference lies in the fact that eminent theoreticians and specialists have been called upon to make concrete predictions and give their opinions on a wide range of subjects. It was practically impossible to include within the limits of a single volume the richness of the Rheinfelden conversations. In any event, much had to be condensed, therefore much sacrificed. But the cutting was also extremely uneven. As was to be expected, the discussions grew animated and strayed far from the main subject, and, although these were often the most interesting and fruitful exchanges, they had to be eliminated for the sake of unity.
