Leopards in the Temple: Selected Essays 1990-2000 (Paperback)

What is the role of the traditional Judeo-Christian concept of otherness in a secularized, high-tech society such as our own? In a world governed by the extensions of man-television, the telephone, the automobile, and the Internet-what happens to cultural values once held to be spiritual? In Leopards in the Temple: Selected Essays 1990-2000, Steven Carter explores the myriad ways in which technology and its "muses"-media entertainment and advertising, the so-called culture of electronics plus capitalism-are in the process of recycling metaphysical values in postmodern American life.
