CHAPTER 4:
HUMAN FLOURISHING IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
1. How is technology a mode of revealing?
Technology shows so much more about the human person and the world; a portal
to information.
2. In your daily experience of technology, what else is revealed to you aside from its own

more. By knowing what are our capabilities and handling responsibilities for us not to be
controlled by technology.
3. Why should technology be questioned?
Technology is complex, is has no specific definition. We should question
technology because it is as what our course likes to name it, ‘Undefined’.
4. How is questioning the piety of thoughts?
Piety means obedience, submission or something that follows after. Questioning
is the piety of thought because we assume and more precisely we do not know everything.
That’s why most of our Eureka moments are often followed by questioned of our own.
5. How does art provide a way out of enframing?
With art, we are better able to see the poetic in nature in reality. It leads us away
from calculative thinking and towards meditative thinking. Through meditative thinking,
art provide a way out of enframing.

cons, still it is a product of intellectual progress, and why shouldn’t we eat it?
