Capitalism and disquiet. A Reflection on Technophobic Conservatives and Neo-Romantic Leftists

Abstract:

In this paper we will analyze the theoretical interventions of some relevant figures of the 20th century. Such figures will be framed in different intellectual traditions and in very diverse disciplinary fields. However, in all of them we can detect the presence of a certain neo-romanticism. That will be our hypothesis. All the authors analyzed here will be affected by the same uneasiness in the face of the technification-mechanization of the world, although they express it with different languages and concepts.
