{{author|Brian Arthur}}’s treatise is somewhat ponderous in its beginning (and in truth, throughout) but all the same is most encouraging in its [[Epistemology|epistemological]] disposition — assuming as it does the recursivity of society and technology, rather than toting the (conventional) view that one is strictly a product of the other. This points you towards a path-dependent model for not just technology, but society and indeed knowledge itself. | {{author|Brian Arthur}}’s treatise is somewhat ponderous in its beginning (and in truth, throughout) but all the same is most encouraging in its [[Epistemology|epistemological]] disposition — assuming as it does the recursivity of society and technology, rather than toting the (conventional) view that one is strictly a product of the other.
