Öz The technological world and Man who has created it are situated in the European-Atlantic region of the earth. Consequently, speaking about the human situation in a technological world means speaking about Western Man. We can therefore State that neithcr fatalistic and irrational Man, nor mystical Man, whose instants of ecstasy are his flashes of knowledge, are of any interest for us. The primitive man who creates his view of the world through direct contact with nature, and the yogi who is able to regulate his blood pressure are also outside our concern. The inhabitant of the techno­ logical world is Western Man, a specimen of the human race whois evidently a creation of nature, but also the creation of long human experience - experience which Man has consciously lived and rationally evaluated.
