  • The Cultural Model of Development: Alternative to Faustian Technology

    Open AccessHenryk SkolimowskiARTICLEAlternatives Global Local Political1980

    The paper identifies two types of science, the Promethean and the Faustian, each inspired by a particular myth and sustained by a particular eschatology, which determine both the concept of development and the choice of technology for achieving it. Both Prometheus of the Greek myth (who stole fire from heaven at the cost of terrible personal suffering) and Faust of the mediaeval German legend (who sold his soul to the devil) were in quest of know…

  • The Social Character of Technological Problems: Comments on Skolimowski's Paper

    I C Jarvie, Henryk SkolimowskiARTICLETechnology and Culture1966

If there is single problem that is central to Skolimowski's paper it is perhaps his statement that science has single aim, the pursuit of knowledge or truth; can similar, simple aim be ascribed to technology? Skolim…
