Dialog dwudziestowiecznej myśli chrześcijańskiej ze światem techniki

Abstract

In the present paper a matter of fact of the 20th century’s relationship between Christian religion and technology is analysed. In an introduction a division on three periods of this relationship is proposed. Then a ways of approach to the modern technology by three Christian thinkers (P. Teilhard de Chardin, J. Ellul, E. Schuurman) are presented und commented. Their views are so chosen in order to quote three possibly different standpoints (respectively: optimistic, pessimistic, realistic). The main conclusion of the paper is that although a discussion between Christian thought (and theology) and world of technology is still at the beginning its crucial attitudes have already been appeared. On the end of the paper several postulates for further fruitful growing of dialogue between Christian though and world of technology in a context of modern culture are suggested.
