Evidence

Technology and Science as `Ideology’this was a way of saying that technocratic consciousness was less ideological than previous ideologies and at the same time, therefore, more harmful. It was no longer possible to trace it back to any fundamental motif of just interaction, of interaction that was free from relations of domination. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 676
