In the broadest sense, this book will be part of my effort toward a humanistic critique of the technological civilization. Of course, as “STS activist”, I will not just be content with solely critique. After pointing out the “construction” of education, I will go further to explore the “reconstruction” of it. However, the first step is to inspire people to rethink their objectives of education and probably of their professional lives. My argument is that the essence of education is to cultivate students' abilities of independent thinking and self-reflection. Therefore, my suggested changes would be those which are necessary and helpful in liberating students' critical thinking.
