Vilém Flusser, Thought and Reflection
"Science is the method by which the thinking thing envelops bodies, in order to understand them. Technology is the method by which the thinking thing clings to bodies in order to modify them. The very success of these two methods, which is the triumph of the West, is also, to my view, the beginning of the end of [the] Modern Age, and therefore, of the West. This very success shows that the knowledge which scientific understanding gives us is as doubtful as the extended things it investigates, and it shows, in consequence, the futility of the modifications which technology operates within that doubtful world. In other words: the epistemological and ethical conquests of Western thought in its advance against the world of matter reveal progressively that something lacks, (possibly “concursus Dei”?), and that something is profoundly wrong with the Cartesian view from which Western thought stems. For instance: Modern physics shows progressively and in many ways that the foundation of matter is thought, since the elements of matter such as positrons, neutrinos etc. are more like symbols of thought than anything else, and since they are fundamental processes in which the distinction of “subject” from “object” can no longer be made."
