Technological mysticism ; Prophets of the third age ; The masculine machine ; Venerating the black box ; Faust's bargain -- Redemptive technology. Two philosophers and a metallurgist ; Technology in the good society.Our ancestors saw the material world as alive, and they often personified nature. Today we claim to be realists. But in reality we are not paying attention to the symbols and myths hidden in technology. Beneath much of our talk about computers and the Internet, claims William A. Stahl, is an unacknowledged mysticism, an implicit religion. By not acknowledging this mysticism, we have become critically short of ethical and intellectual resources with which to understand and confront changes brought on by technology.Editions SR ;v. 24.TechnologySocial aspectsComputersMoral and ethical aspectsTechnologyMoral and ethical aspectsComputersSocial aspectsTechnologySocial aspects.ComputersMoral and ethical aspects.TechnologyMoral and ethical aspects.ComputersSocial aspects.303.48/3Stahl William A(William Austin)1499899Canadian Corporation for Studies in Religion.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782629003321God and the chip3726333UNINA
