Abstract

UMKC Law Professor Paul Callister presents Law and Heidegger’s Question Concerning Technology: Prolegomenon to Future Law Librarianship at a symposium held in honor of Bob Berring October 2006 at Boalt Hall, University of California, Berkeley. Professor Callister explains the criticisms of technology and modern life proffered by German philosopher Martin Heidegger. He applies the criticisms to the current legal information environment and contrasts developing technologies and current attitudes and practices with earlier Anglo-American traditions. Finally, he considers the implications for law librarianship in the current information environment.
