Work, Technology, and Education: Dissenting Essays in the Intellectual Foundations of American Education. Walter Feinberg and Henry Rosemont, Jr., eds. Urbana, IL: U of Illinois P, 1975.

Immediately relevant: Kenneth D. Benne, "Technology and Community: Conflicting Bases of Educational Authority"; Marx Wartofsky, "Art and Technology: Conflicting Models of Education? The Uses of a Cultural Myth"; Don Ihde, "A Phenomenology of Man-Machine Relations" (q.v. this Category). Taken all together, these essays attack contemporary American schools as places where the human soul is just "another element to be shaped, molded, and conditioned to the requirements of machine production" (Introduction 11).
