LOGIC Issue 9: Nature
Ben Tarnoff, Moira Weigel, Jen Kagan, Alex Blasdel
Nothing under the sun is not made. In this issue, we investigate nature
in the broadest sense. Every philosophy of technology needs a philosophy
of nature—or better, several. In any tool, the nature of the user meets
the nature she might use that tool to shape. Then again, nature in the
colloquial sense—meaning what came before us and will outlive us—could
hardly seem more distant in an era of rapid, catastrophic change that
seems to shrink the past to the vanishing point and make it harder to
imagine a habitable future. We change our nature as we change our tools,
and our tools change us.
