Immanente Religion - Transzendente Technologie

Immanence and transcendence form a philosophical pair of opposites that can illustrate how a society deals with technological boundaries and the importance it attaches to technological innovations. Religion as a cultural technology has the purpose of communicating transcendental things in the immanence of the world. What does this mean for innovation societies that elevate the ongoing crossing of technological boundaries to a mode of reproduction? The thesis of this book is: technology discourses which negotiate transcendence preferably use vocabulary, terms and metaphors from the field of religion - not just recently.
