Jaspers criticized what aspect of modernity?
Democracy
Technology
Capitalism
Agriculture
Answer
Jaspers critiques of modernity focus primarily on technology. He argues that modern technology has become an autonomous force, dominating and controlling human life. Technology’s emphasis on efficiency and rationalization leads to dehumanization and alienation, where individuals become mere cogs in a vast, impersonal machine. Human relationships are increasingly mediated through technology, eroding genuine human connection and interaction.
