In the years following the publication of Foucault's works an intense debate arose on the subject of sexuality in antiquity, perhaps primarily in feminist and homosexual circles, although by no means exclusively."

Most of the authors who wrote critically about technology and its socio-cultural role during the twentieth century were philosophers of a general outlook ... or had a background in one of the other humanities or in social science, like literary criticism and social research..., law..., political science... or literary studies... The form of philosophy of technology constituted by the writings of these and others has been called... ‘humanities philosophy of technology’, because it takes its point of departure in the social sciences and the humanities rather than in the practice of technology."

In the years following the publication of Foucault's works an intense debate arose on the subject of sexuality in antiquity, perhaps primarily in feminist and homosexual circles, although by no means exclusively."

Most of the authors who wrote critically about technology and its socio-cultural role during the twentieth century were philosophers of a general outlook ... or had a background in one of the other humanities or in social science, like literary criticism and social research..., law..., political science... or literary studies... The form of philosophy of technology constituted by the writings of these and others has been called... ‘humanities philosophy of technology’, because it takes its point of departure in the social sciences and the humanities rather than in the practice of technology."
