Technology is changing human life at an ever-increasing pace. How should philosophy respond to this? James Tartaglia examines the place of philosophy in a world where our rapidly expanding technological powers make philosophical reflection more important than ever. Arguing that materialism has become the philosophical common sense of the modern secular world for no good reason at all, and has many undesirable effects on how we think about the world and each other, he explores the possibility of an alternative philosophy, better suited to the kind of lives we live today, which would promote a more democratic and rational approach to technological development. Against the materialist-inspired view that philosophy never makes progress, he shows how traditional problems of philosophy - concerning freedom, our identities and the truth - have direct application to the problems we face today.
