Technik und Transzendenz

Technics is viewed as a critical motor to the disenchantment, as it competes with a religious interpretation and practice of the world. Especially in public debates modern technics falls back to promises of salvation und utopia to advertise for itself. Thus technics and transcendence lies closer together than presumed. Furthermore technics aims at making the impossible possible. At the same time it creates new impossibilities, concerning control and application. The contributions to this work address the relationship of technics and transcendence in theoretical and practical interdisciplinary examples.
