  • The Awe of the Man Made


    We live in a technological world of marvel and awe. All around us are technologies of wonder and miracle. Consider the awesome wonder of human technology and what immense role it serves in the existence and flourishing of human life. Consider how naked and starved human existence would suffer had human technology never been created, or if suddenly vanished. But most consider why you hold the weight of blank indifference toward the bright spectacle of the man made and artificial, which grants you life and and happiness.
  • The Awe of the Man Made
    Hi George,

    It is all pretty wonderful, isn't it? But I would place man's creations above nature in this respect: because man creates products by choice, because nature is so powerful, man's creations possess a superior wonder and awe. And while man and his products are part of nature, man brought his products into being by his own purposeful volitional effort guided by a conceptual faculty which he grasped and mastered.
  • Welcome to The Philosophy Forum - an introduction thread
    Hi everyone!

    My name is Alen White. I am a writer and philosopher. I write and philosophise about the awe and wonder of the man made.
    I look forward to speak and debate and explore my ideas with you, and grow in the process.
    Can someone suggest the appropriate forum to put forth my ideas and spark conversation?
    Thanks!
