Kierkegaard and the Question Concerning Technology (Hardcover)

Over the last several decades, technology has emerged as an
important area of interest for both philosophers and theologians.
Yet, despite his status as one of modernity's seminal thinkers,
Soren Kierkegaard is not often seen as one who contributed to the
field. Kierkegaard and the Question Concerning Technology argues
otherwise. Christopher B. Barnett shows that many of Kierkegaard's
criticisms of "the present age" relate to the increasing dominance
of technology in the West, and he puts Kierkegaard's thought in
conversation with subsequent thinkers who grappled with
technological issues, from Martin Heidegger to Thomas Merton.
Barnett shows that Kierkegaard's writing, with its marked emphases
on personal "upbuilding," stands as a place where deeper,
non-technical modes of thinking are both commended and nurtured. In
doing so, Barnett presents a Kierkegaard who remains
relevant--perhaps all too relevant--in today's digital age.
