Politics And Technology In The Works Of Lewis Mumford

Summary/Abstract: Relations and interactions between politics and technology is one of the central themes in the works of Lewis Mumford. Although sometimes presented in a not very systematical manner, Mumfords findings and standpoints had a big impact on formulating modern approaches to so­cial study of technology (including research of technology in political sci­ence). This article aims to identify and sistematize most important seg­ments of Mumfords views on politics and technology: city as (political) community, status, functions, and significance of utopias, difference be­tween authoritarian and democratic techics, concept of megamachine as well as notion of sociotechnical complex, and also to point out the influence of these views on modern research of the problem.
