Eating the Supper of the Lamb in a Cool Whip Society - Books & Culture
Book review of the Supper of the Lamb and Power Failure by Albert Borgmann. Mostly discusses the role of technology in culture and how it competes with God and creation.
-
Add Sticky NoteWhat Borgmann is proposing here the Desert Fathers would have called
ascesis—the willingness to embrace suffering and the mundane demands of
the encumbered life, the willingness to forfeit comfort. In an era of pervasive
technology, there will be no faith, no reverence, and ultimately no true
fulfillment without ascesis, voluntary withdrawal from technology's effortless
pleasures. Even our most technologically immersed contemporaries sense this—woe
to the suitor having dinner with his beloved, or the vice president making a
presentation to her CEO, who stops to answer a cell phone call.- This is the propsed solution to the pull of technology; voluntary suffering by opting out of certain conveniences. - on 2009-03-05
