Recenzii
Human Flourishing in a Technological World is a thoughtful and reflective work that directly engages the transhumanist vision of secular material progress from a position of Christian personhood.
The volume's expansive focus on human flourishing and technology is both a virtue and a vice. Negatively, the foci, methodology, and style of the fifteen contributions are distractingly varied despite their generally theological orientation. So too the quality of the contributions is uneven. Positively, the collection highlights the discipline and context-spanning implications of technological advance, particularly the recent advances in AI. In a rapidly changing field, an expansive vision helps avoid neglecting what might turn out to be vital.
