On Hiatus

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm on hiatus until I finish writing two articles. The first on technologies of the self as challenge to technological rationality, the second on the status of nonhuman animal victims.

Please check back soon.

On the Hegemony of Science

If you needed a reason to question the authority of science in making decisions about the direction of human life and about the current status of technological rationality perhaps Simpson can point to one direction in which you might find a reason or two.

"I believe that science's inability to reckon adequately with themes of freedom and value makes our worry about its hegemony legitimate" (Lorenzo Simpson p.29 in Technology, Time, and the Conversations of Modernity" 1995).
