Description
As technology increasingly blurs the distinction between man and machine, new questions emerge about the future of religion, education, work, politics, and family life. Joshua Pauling (Education’s End) and Robin Phillips (Rediscovering the Goodness of God’s Creation) respond to this profound confusion by articulating a vision for flourishing in the digital age rooted in the sacramental life of the Church and the rich tradition of liberal learning.
The authors leave few stones unturned in detailing the pervasive and often detrimental effects of the indiscriminate use of digital technology. Far from the promise of greater connectivity, digital interfaces often leave us stranded in isolation, ignorance, and sedentary habits, while eroding our imagination and critical thinking skills. The book offers a difficult but needed remedy to our current dilemma by presenting a philosophy of technology anchored in Christian metaphysics. In the process, the authors suggest habits and practices that help us reclaim our humanity from the Machine.
