Recenzii
[Kierkegaard and the Question Concerning Technology] is a welcome contribution to Kierkegaard studies. It opens a new window onto Kierkegaard's work and, more importantly, proves the value of looking through it.
As an accomplished author, Christopher B. Barnett has an astonishing range that captivates our interest. In this book, Barnett renews the conviction that Kierkegaard still remains relevant as our critical contemporary and edifying companion on this pilgrimage of life. Barnett has achieved the most in-depth treatment of Kierkegaard's critique of technological culture since Jacques Ellul.
In his new book, Christopher B. Barnett not only shows that Kierkegaard was an important influence on several of the major 20th-century critics of technology, such as Heidegger and Ellul, he also shows that the Dane anticipated key points of their specific warnings as to the dangers of modern technology. Through a careful analysis of the material culture of 1840s Denmark and a sensitive reading of the relevant texts, Barnett shows how Kierkegaard was able to identify elements of the technological mind-set, its promise and its perils, that have now become defining features of our social and intellectual environment.
