Summary |
We live in an age when the dominant technologically utilitarian worldview is undergoing a transformation. Turning Toward Technology introduces readers to the possibility of an alternative technological worldview by examining foundational concepts to Asian thought. George Teschner and Alessandro Tomasi aim to stimulate awareness of an alternative technological paradigm, and thus a different mode of social action that can establish an optimistic future for global civilization |
