Is Technology Value Oriented

The purpose of writing this article is to answer the important question of whether technology is a neutral tool or has a value and moral direction and burden.

The method of writing the article is documentary analysis. In response, while providing an autonomous definition of technology and orientation, by citing four reasons for the neutrality of technology (instrumentalists) and criticizing their arguments (such as Pete, Motahari, Rahimpour) the arguments of proponents of technology orientation with six different tendencies have been discussed ( Eg Heidegger, Feinberg, Nasr, Postman, Golshani, Ihde, Wendpool, Cruz, Soroush, etc). Then he considers the arguments of people such as essentialists and determinists as coercive and extreme, and finally, by accepting the words of the proponents of the influence of a priori sciences and culture on technology and conditionally accepting the theory of "technology mediation" and "application plan" of technology, to a moderate position.  

Results and Conclusion:

The author rejects both the extremism of the essentialists and the deviance of the instrumentalists and takes a corrective position between the two.
