invitation to a philosophy talk - reminder

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk by Mejame Ejede Charley (Visiting Research Fellow, Department of Philosophy) on 'The Problematic of Technology and the Realms of Salvation in Heidegger and Michel Henry’s Philosophy' 5.30 PM, Tuesday, 4. December 2007, Zrinyi 14 building, Room 412 ABSTRACT As usual, man is the author of his misfortunes. The only difference is that sin was formerly moral and religious.Be that as it may, in this day and age, sin is, as it were, technological. Because man has distanced himself from Nature, he finds himself at the same time alienated and guilty, contemplating like a child brazen in the brainlessness of what he has done and waiting in anguish the imminent punishment of a mother who does not forgive.Cum multis aliis, it is not only ugliness that Heidegger and Michel Henry reproach on techno-science but aggressiveness as well. The aim of this paper is an exploration of the two interpretations(Heidegger and Michel Henry) of the phenomenon of technology and their new paradigms, their new visions of reality.
