"Twentieth-century man has lost a meaningful world and a self which lives in meanings out of a spiritual center. The man-created world of objects has drawn into itself him who created it and who now loses his subjectivity in it. He has sacrificed himself to his productions. But man still is aware of what he has lost or is continuously losing. He is still man enough to experience his dehumanization as despair."
Paul Tillich, The Courage to Be, p. 139-40
Does the twenty-first century person still despair over dehumanization? Do we lose ourselves in our blogs and facebooks? It seems that human productions have made way for Production, economic and technological growth. Has humanity sacrificed itself to sustaining and entertaining itself?
