Humanitas Technica
Can technology serve humanity?
A multiyear-initiative aimed at recovering a properly human paradigm for making, use, and life within technological environments.
The project
Restore technology to human measure
Technological advances can better the conditions of living while simultaneously threatening human nature. The difficulty begins not only in uncritical adoption, but in a failure to understand what technology is.
Humanitas Technica re-roots technology in poiesis: a properly creative vision that sees parts in subordinate relationship to wholes and technical power in relation to human flourishing.

Seminars, papers, conferences, and presentations unfold one extended conversation aimed at repairing the relationship between humanity and technology.
