Teknoloji-Değer İlişkisi Bağlamında İlerlemeci Tarih Anlayışına Dair Bir Soruşturma

Abstract

Technology, which is the effort of human beings to give meaning to existence, is a problematic area for many disciplines, especially philosophy, with its multifaceted effects that spread to all areas of life today. Starting from this problematic area, this article investigates whether technological develop-ments can be accepted as a real progress in human history. In the article, the claims of the progressive theory of history are examined in the context of tech-nology and value, emphasizing the value load of technology. At the same time, it is considered that progress does not consist only of technical and quantitati-ve developments for human beings, who are also a cultural and value asset. At the end of the article, it is concluded that although technological progress pro-vides an opportunity for progress for humanity, not every technological deve-lopment means progress in history.
