A Critique of Ihde's Ideas
Cultural

Saber Monadi Nouri and Mostafa Taqavi
S
ocieties today have come
closer together as a result
of the development of communication technologies
and the greater ease with
which business is transacted. Consequently, technological tools and devices are being transferred from industrial societies to other
countries at dazzling speeds. The transfer of
technology to non-industrialized societies
with their own histories, civilizations, and
backgrounds has led to the emergence of
cultural issues and conflicts that are specific
to the modern period and that had not existed prior to this period. In this article, we
have reviewed the ideas of Don Ihde, a leading contemporary philosopher who has done
much work in the field of the philosophy of
technology and the relationship between
technology and society. Using Don Ihde's
work, we have striven to solve the problem
of technology and culture interaction in the
global periphery. We start by giving an account of Don Ihde's general view of the major relation between culture and technology,
and proceed to an analysis of Ihde's ideas
on the problem of cultural conflict in non-industrial countries. Having provided a critique
of Ihde's ideas, we conclude that his answers
to the problem are useful but incomplete.
