| Abstract: | Martin Heidegger's late thought on technology raises a potent set of observations regarding the relationship of technology and ontology. Oliver O'Donovan is shown to have similar concerns to Heidegger on this topic, concerns which he addresses from within a theological framework which places technological making within the guiding role of created order. Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics II/1 account of the perfections of God is applied to sharpen O'Donovan's account of natural knowledge, clarifying the relation between natural and redeemed understandings of the normativity of the form of matter. |
