Charles
A. Lindbergh and the America Dilemma
The Conflict of Technology
and Human Values
Susan M. Gray
Popular Press
Throughout his life, Lindbergh's value
structure, interests, and activities shifted and moved, yielding
a conflict between instinct and intellect. Both its presence
in his life and his readjustment of values in accordance with
it are representative of his time and culture. He moved, with
the twentieth century itself, from a faith in technology to a
disenchantment with it and finally to a balanced resolution that
synthesized the seeming oppositions of technology and the human
spirit. This emphasis on a balance between technology and humanity,
and Lindbergh's belief that maintained the complementarity rather
than the opposition of the two forces, finally culminated in
a post-technological mysticism, a teleological worldview of science
and nature as aspects of the same physical and spiritual environment.
