We think of technology as digital platforms and complex artificial intelligence machines. But it may be a basic part of who we are as human animals.

In this four-week conversation on technology, we will explore the following topics:

• Nature versus Culture: Technology and the “Natural” World

• From Poetics to Technics: Poetry, Writing, and the Printing Press

• So, who’s in Charge? Technics, Human Intention, and Human Desire

• Where have we been? Where are we going?

Lectures and discussion hosted at The Link Auditorium with Professor of Philosophy, Bioethics, and Theology at St. Louis University, Jeffrey Bishop, M.D., Ph.D.
