Richta's first work was ''Člověk a technika v revoluci našich dnů'' ("Man and Technology in the Revolution of Our Day"), published in 1963 . This work did much to bring the concept of technology into the forefront of philosophical thought during the 1960s. Richta then went on to publish ''Civilizace na rozcestí'' ("Civilization at the Crossroads") in 1966 . "Crossroads" was a compilation work published by 60 authors (including and lead by Richta) that "attempt {Link without Title} to analyze the social and human implications of the scientific and technological revolution" (Crossroads, Third expanded edition. Trans. Marian Slingova, 13). The concepts touched on in "Crossroads" are considered by some philosophical historians to be very ground-breaking for their time. Richta became the director of the Philosophical Institute Of The Czechoslovak Academy Of Sciences (CAS) in 1968 . As such he developed the famous term of "Socialism with a human face" serving as a motto of the Prague Spring period. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
