Mechanistic Solidarity and the Diminution of Conscience
Keywords:
Abstract
One of the main modes of other-directedness that has only been indirectly linked with anomie and that is the technique and technology of the modern machine both as a metaphor for mechanism in semi-conscious working states of affairs the public life of our large and general social role as one of the others and one of the mass producer and consumer but also the machine as a physical enabler a force in the material world wherein it alleviates suffering with a view to assuaging anomie The machine houses and promotes a new set of norms It is never normless although often mindless It cannot suffer itself It does not feel the wind chill and though it breaks down it does not die It represents in its obliviousness to sorrow and to ennui an ideal form for modern humanity We would be as it is Functional able to work and nothing else turned on and off in an instant
