Abstract

There are increasing calls emerging from various fields of interest for broadening society’s understanding of technology, moving away from purely technical terms to one that is underpinned in a human context. However, any new ways of understanding are often driven by the specifics of the individual field formulating the new way of understanding, leading to fragmentation. This paper provides an integrated framework for understanding technology in a way that transcends disciplines. The new approach is underpinned in Dooyeweerd’s philosophy. The paper first gives an overview of the philosophy, which is then used to discuss a conceptual framework for a richer and non-reductionist relationship between Society and Technology.
