In contrast to the technocratic aim of controlling a perilous future, the author proposes that we develop the practical craft of sustenance. Beginning with debates in environmental policy, he draws upon recent philosophical interest in ecology, technology, and moral experience to argue that the challenge of sustainability is that of undermining those traditions that present technology as somehow external to our inherent moral ambiguity. This discussion responds to the work of Langdon Winner, Albert Borgmann, Charles Taylor, Martin Heidegger, David Abram, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aidan Davison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791449807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791449806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 5.89w x 0.63d","brand":"Aidan Davison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448946831615,"sku":"9780791449806","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bb5c659-77b0-4049-9430-60c2954cc044.jpg?v=1777261297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/technology-and-the-contested-meanings-aidan-davison-9780791449806","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
