Episode Synopsis

Andrew Feenberg's work centers on the critical theory of technology, arguing that technology is not neutral but deeply intertwined with social power and values. He rejects technological determinism, emphasizing instead the social construction of technology. His "critical constructivism" combines critical theory with constructivist approaches, analyzing how technologies are designed and used to reinforce or challenge existing power structures.
