Review:
(Re)locating religion in a technological age: Book by Concordia professor explores intersection of religion and technology, September 24, 2013 By: Cléa Desjardins -- Extract:
Deus in Machina brings respected scholars from around the world together to evaluate the philosophical, cosmological and ethical terms on which technology has been imagined as the opposite of religion.
Their essays — on subjects ranging from the development of mechanical clocks in medieval Christian Europe and the healing power of prayer in premodern Buddhist Japan to Islamic debates about organ transplantation in contemporary Egypt — call attention to what can be created once this division has been done away with.Table of Contents:
