Arguing that the ideology of freedom and equality today bears
little resemblance to its eighteenth-century counterpart, Richard
Stivers examines how these values have been radically transformed
in a technological civilization. Once thought of as a kind of
personal property and an aspect of the dignity of the individual,
the context of freedom and equality today is technological before
it is political and economic and is also now largely thought of in
collective terms. Focusing on the work of Jacques Ellul and Max
Weber, Stivers traces the development of freedom and equality in
Enlightenment thought and American history and then proceeds to
discuss their current ideologies, realities, and illusions.
