J. Phillip Johnson
“Technology, it must be recognized, is not a solitary track of advancement. It is not a prefigured path which manifests in time, nor a hard-coded progression in which technologies unlock over time with sufficient resources and research. Each technology has an explicit purpose, operating conditions and set of skills that make certain human activities possible or more convenient. Technological progress is thus open-ended.”
J. Phillip Johnson, The Invention of Work

J. Phillip Johnson
“Whereas the received Law of revelation emboldens the Jewish mystic, the true materialist substitutes for Torah practical law or technology—technique, τέχνη. This positions the materialist over the cosmos, not as a member of the cosmos. Materialism always masks an underlying existentialism, and existentialism contains the inevitable character of process and arbitration. This finds the cosmos in need of fixing, in need of work, and for intelligence to act upon it and master it to that end: the divine coming into itself through work. The goal of existentialism, then, is work: as wages are compensation for toil, writ large is the universal tragedy whose last act, its redemption—its “payday”—is yet to come. Where our everyday work finds its necessity is in the cosmic Work whereby the ultimate meaning, the Sublime and the Divine, enters into the world once humanity organizes its rampant chaos.”
J. Phillip Johnson, The Invention of Work
