Donald E. Polkinghorne assembles the case for the return to judgment-based practice for the professions that engage in direct person-to-person interaction with those they serve. Set in the larger context of the technification of society, Polkinghorne draws from Weber, Heidegger, Ihde, Bourdieu, de Certeau, and other philosophers to trace the advancing power of the technological worldview in Western culture and uses Aristotle, Dewey and Gadamer to help make his case that we should be doing things very differently."--Jacket OP - 221 CN - HV31 .P67 2004eb SN - 1423740068 SN - 9781423740063 SN - 0791461998 SN - 9780791461990 SN - 0791462005 SN - 9780791462003 SN - 9780791484548 SN - 0791484548 KW - Human services : Philosophy.
