Being in a Technological Age

When we discuss technology, we often think of it as a human activity and as a means to an end. But theologian George Grant has argued technology is not merely instrumental in these ways, but rather “technology is the ontology of our age.” As an ontology, technology not only says something about but also actively shapes our being. Ashley Moyse (Columbia) will lead a discussion about technology and why a merely instrumental understanding is insufficient to appreciate the ways that our humanity is being conformed.
