Join us for a companion reading and open dialogue on Martin Heidegger’s *The Question Concerning Technology*—a key philosophical text that asks what technology truly is, beyond tools and machines. This session connects directly to our current Ouroboros Book Club reading, *Seeing Through the World,* by Jeremy Johnson (and is referenced in the book). We will be expanding on its central themes through Heidegger’s lens of “enframing,” “revealing,” and the human relationship to Being.
We’ll explore how these ideas relate not only to our main text, but also to broader contemporary questions — Artificial Intelligence, automation, and the ethical use of technology in a world increasingly shaped by algorithmic systems.

Hosted on our **[Discord](https://discord.gg/JtpyZ9WU)**, this will follow our signature Ouroboros format: short readings, slow thinking, and thoughtful dialectic exchange based on our charter and *[Notes on Dialogue ](https://www.bc.edu/content/dam/files/centers/boisi/pdf/f10/Notes_on_Dialogue.pdf)*(Stringfellow Barr). I’ll read the essay, and then we can open the floor to talk about key concepts, trace how they relate to our primary book, and engage in deeper shared inquiry.

James Foster is the founder of the **Ouroboros Project**, a growing community dedicated to dialogue, philosophy, and cultural renewal. His work centers on creating living spaces for inquiry—where ideas from thinkers like Martin Buber, A.N. Whitehead, Rudolf Steiner, Carl Jung, and Jean Gebser meet the realities of contemporary life, technology, and collective evolution.

Through the Ouroboros Book Club and related gatherings, James curates opportunities for people to think together, practice awareness, and rebuild a sense of shared meaning in an increasingly fragmented world. His approach blends philosophy, systems thinking, and embodied community practice — inviting participants to explore not only what we think, but *how* we think together.
