Abstract: Sustainable development, care for the common good, debates on the challenges of civilization connected with the transformations of society and economies taking place under the influence of the technological factor belong to the issues most commonly covered by social researchers. The advent of the civilization of the future is becoming the much looked forward to conceptual revolution. Technology, technical innovations, technological principles are listed among the range of factors supposed to affect the future condition of the collectivity termed society today. Modern technologies are defined in categories of factors designed to genuinely affect the processes of the social construction of certain narrations of sustainable development. Authors endeavour to shed a light on the controversial role of technology in the process of the social construction of the premises of the conception of sustainable development. Technology alters the way we define the approach to valuating the issue of development in an increasingly complex world, in which it is becoming a difficult task to indicate the universal foundations of the emerging civilization of the future. Will the idea of the common good prevail over the ideological vision of a technological society based on strictly rational values of maximization?
