Our Technological Fate
1st February 2024: 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm GMT
Our Technological Fate: George Grant and Pope Francis in Dialogue
An in-person talk by Hallam Willis, Associate Member of the Las Casas Institute in the Aula at Blackfriars Hall. The event will also be available to follow online. To register for online attendance, please follow this link.
The primary aim of this talk is to give an intelligible interpretation to George Grant’s varied and various ways of claiming that those societies we would consider “technological” have a destiny or a fate, and that this fate is bound up in the nature of our society as technological. The argument is, simply, that if we are technologically fated, then there is something out of our control with respect to technology. Should this claim be true, it should obviously disturb us.
