10“Technology” as the Critical Social Theory of Human TechnicityJournal of Philosophical Research 41 333-369. 2016.© 2016 Philosophy Documentation Center. The aim of this article is to argue for an interdisciplinary social theoretical approach to the technicity of human agency. This approach covers the spectrum of individual and social action from a perspective that logically precedes techno-optimism and techno-pessimism, and is intended to be both descriptively and normatively plausible.

25The Place of Max Weber in Ricœur’s Philosophy: Power, Ideology, ExplanationJournal of French and Francophone Philosophy 28 (2). 2020.This article offers an encompassing interpretation of Paul Ricœur’s reception of Max Weber’s sociology.

As a whole, this article argues that Weber was a signifi…Read more
