Gallery Exhibition – Lewis Mumford: Selections from the Monmouth University Permanent Collection

Joan and Robert Rechnitz Hall

Lewis Mumford, a dynamic writer, literary and architectural critic, moralist, historian and philosopher, criticized progress based on the intoxicating power of technology and the machine. He argued that the advancement of civilization should be cultivated by humanism, and that technology should never be used to acquire global domination, promote military prowess, or erode individualism.
