要約:The journal Arguments (1956-1962), mainly edited by Kostas Axelos, François Fejtö, Jean Duvignaud and Edgar Morin, has been analysed above all as an important milestone in left-wing anti-communism, and as a laboratory for the ideas advocated during May 1968. This interpretative prism has obscured a whole strand of thought that was nonetheless decisive in the journal: the critique of ‘technicist civilisation’, for which conceptual tools borrowing from both Marxism and Heidegger were mobilised. But examining the place of what we now call ‘technocriticism’ in the pages of Arguments sheds light on the little-known role played by sociologist Georges Friedmann, a specialist in machinismo, in the development of this thinking. Finally, the article looks back at the attempts of several members of Arguments to translate their theoretical work into political action, and shows how the journal laid the guidelines for an ecology that would reject the reign of technology.
