Spirits in the material world : the challenge of technology
Germain, Gilbert G.
Spirits in the material world : the challenge of technology Gilbert G. Germain - Lanham Lexington Books 2009 - xxiii, 217 pages 24 cm
Includes index
"In Spirits in the Material World: The Challenge of Technology, Gil Germain provocatively argues that humans are fast becoming spirit-like creatures, beings who assume their bodies are incidental to what it means to be human, and the 'real world' an accidental quality of the human condition. Technology, it is suggested, authorizes such an understanding and legitimates a manner of action that obscures the centrality of embodiment.
