For the first time, this book brings together central articles from Technology Assessment (TA) in Germany, which were published in the period from 1980 to 2010. The articles recall important and significant issues of the conceptual discussion on TA, which are of high scientific relevance until today. Thus, the volume reflects an intellectually demanding discussion about the complex relationship between society and technology.With contributions byGotthard Bechmann | Meinolf Dierkes | Günter Frederichs | Carl Friedrich Gethmann | Fritz Gloede | Armin Grunwald | Katrin Hähner | Leonhard Hennen | Renate Mayntz | Erwin Münch | Herbert Paschen | Thomas Petermann | Ortwin Renn
