View of Langdon Winner’s Theory of Technological Politics: Rethinking Science and Technology for Future Society | Engaging Science, Technology, and Society

Excerpt: ″Similar to legislative acts, technological innovation requires spaces for public debate and democratic deliberation (such as citizens’ panels or agencies for technology assessment) including engagements in creating and designing alternative forms of technological practice. Forms that are systematically, from the first moment in the process of creation, imagined in their significance for human life and the world, and which do not solidify one-sided interests, social injustice and control over others, but try to overcome it and embody a generalized thinking, care for the world and for the common good.
