理性被转向自身，只是为了证明理性没有出路（第 118 页）。公民，无论是否被困在官僚机构的铁笼里，都失去了生活的意义：作为参与的文化已经被作为建构的知识所取代。这种对现代技术统治胜利的诊断颇具洞察力，但缺少一个主要因素：资本主义。后来它以“商业社会”的名义被切题地引入（第120页）；然而，人们忽略了罗素、芒福德、埃鲁尔和戈兹等作者讨论过的技术官僚与资本主义之间的相关性。从他们的角度来看，技术并没有失去它的目的：资本主义的目的已经取代了人文主义的目的。教育是公民教育还是个人主义教育？这本选集很好地介绍了大学教育的现状及其危机的大多数历史方面。融合的主题一方面包括文科、洪堡大学、文化、进步文明和强大的民主，另一方面包括技能培训、企业大学、虚无主义、消费主义和友好法西斯主义之间的相互关系。不幸的是，没有任何贡献者对技术的本质（或其技术科学的继承者）及其与资本主义的联系做出尖锐的判断，这是争论问题的核心双重难题。
and reason was turned back on itself only to demonstrate that rationality leads nowhere (p. 118). Citizens, trapped or not in the iron cage of bureaucracy, lost the sense of meaning in their lives: culture as participation had been replaced by knowledge as construction. This diagnosis of the triumph of modern technocracy is quite perceptive, but one major actor is missing: capitalism. It is tangentially introduced later under the guise of ‘commercial society’ (p. 120); one misses, however, the correlation between technocracy and capitalism that has been discussed by authors such as Russell, Mumford, Ellul and Gorz. From their perspective, technique has not lost its telos: a capitalistic telos has been substituted for the humanistic telos. Is education a matter of instruction in citizenship or in individualism? This anthology constitutes an excellent introduction to the current state of university education and to most historical facets of its crisis. Converging themes include the correlation between, on the one hand, liberal arts, Humboldtian university, culture, progressive civilization and robust democracy and, on the other, skill training, corporate university, nihilism, consumerism and friendly fascism. Unfortunately, no contributor produces a sharp judgement on the nature of technique (or on its technoscientific heir) and on its link with capitalism, a double conundrum that is at the core of the debated issue.
