Section 3. Local Boundaries
The force of wilderness within the ubiquity of cyberspace
Explanation in philosophy and the limits of precision
Knowledge and Conversation
Good conversations open up a common world. The boundaries of that world are defined by shared knowledge. The normative content of knowledge is the concern of general education, and its force comes to life as background knowledge in conversations and in the way we experience the world. Background knowledge is present in memory. Information technology tends to make memory dispensable and ignorance normal—it is no longer the absence of knowledge, bu…
So who am I really? Personal identity in the age of the Internet
The Here and Now
Reality and technology
Is it possible to have a wide and deep theory of technology? Commodification provides a helpful clue. It refers to the width of the economy and suggests incisive criticism. Although it is economically precise, its moral and cultural force needs explication. In that sense it refers to the detachment of a thing or practice from its context of engagement with a time, a place, and a community. Engagement is replaced by a technological machinery. The …
Enclosure and disclosure on content and form in architecture
“... Or is the question of being at once the most basic and the most concrete?” On the ambitions and responsibilities of contemporary American philosophy

Globalization, Technology, and Philosophy (review)
Reviewed by: Globalization, Technology, and Philosophy Albert Borgmann David Tabachnick and Toivo Koivukoski , eds., Globalization, Technology, and Philosophy. Albany: State University of New York Press, 2004. This anthology represents a paradigm case of how North-American philosophers deal with a significant social phenomenon. To begin with, David Tabachnick and Toivo Koivukoski, the editors of the volume, deserve praise for having focused philo…
Technology as a Cultural Force
To various degrees, the citizens of the advanced industrial countries are suffering from a crisis that is as profound as it is vague and therefore hard to deal with. The problem is particularly acute in the United States, however, and in what follows, some of the illustrations pertain particularly to that country, the one I live in and know best. In any case, though vagueness obscures the crisis, there have to be symptoms of some sort; otherwise …

Technology as a Cultural Force for Alena and Griffin
Contingency and Grace in an Age of Science and Technology
We need to respond reflectively to the indifference that contemporary culture exhibits toward religion and theology. The realm of contingency offers common ground with atheists and agnostics and constitutes the habitual precinct of grace. Contingency, however, is questioned by scientists and reduced by technology. Thus, contingency must be clarified and defended vis-à-vis scientists (and philosophers), and its reduction by technology needs to be …

Society in the postmodern era
Technology in the postmodern era has expedited and revolutionized the business world while also altering patterns of social interaction. Although such sophisticated systems have made a positive impact on the United States, they have also negatively affected the livelihood of Americans inside and outside of the workplace
The Moral Complexion of Consumption
Vigorous consumption is the sign of a prosperous and confident society. Some critics, however, find a high level of consumption morally objectionable. To see what is valid in these objections, one needs to understand the connection between consumption and the characteristic pattern of technology that is highlighted by the device paradigm and gives rise to paradigmatic consumption. Such consumption induces disengagement from reality and a decline …

Holding on to Reality
We hear constantly about our current "information revolution." Twenty-four-hour news channels and dizzying Internet technologies bombard us with facts and pictures from around the globe. But what kind of a "revolution" is this? How has information really changed from what it was ten years or ten centuries ago? Albert Borgmann offers some riveting answers to these questions in Holding On to Reality. Borgmann has written a history of information, f…

Technology and the Character of Contemporary Life
Blending social analysis and philosophy, Albert Borgmann maintains that technology creates a controlling pattern in our lives. This pattern, discernible even in such an inconspicuous action as switching on a stereo, has global effects: it sharply divides life into labor and leisure, it sustains the industrial democracies, and it fosters the view that the earth itself is a technological device. He argues that technology has served us as well in co…

Crossing the Postmodern Divide
Crossing the Postmodern Divide is a guide for all those perplexed by what it means to live at the edge of an era. Albert Borgmann writes for everyone seeking to understand the sprawling critique of modernity that informs virtually every aspect of life at the end of the twentieth century, from philosophy, social theory, and the arts to everyday worlds of work and family and community. In this eloquent guide to the meanings of the postmodern era, B…
