ABSTRACT
To the question of joining morality to power, Jacques Ellul, professor of the history of law at the University of Bordeaux, expressed again his criticism of modern society first published in his influential book The Technological Society. There he claimed that the old distinction between means and ends no longer has validity, and that "technique, formerly regarded as a means, has itself become an end. Our lives and thoughts are completely dominated by the power and scope of present-day "technique."
