One way to shape technology and its embedding in society in the
21st century is through the visions that guide their development,
especially concerning the long-term societal perspective. A
critical discussion and assessment of these visions is a
prerequisite for influencing the course of development. Technology
assessment, therefore, has to provide a methodological repertoire
for assessing and constructing visions, taking into account the
requirements for long-term orientation as well as the need for
public legitimation. This volume draws upon insights from
technology assessment, political sciences, epistemology, sociology
and ethics. It is to contribute to the recent literature in on
"shaping technology," taking into account the "co-evolution of
technology and society." It connects to that technology assessment
literature that emphasises TA's pro-active role and its
contribution to political judgement.
