FLOURISHING IN TERMS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Kitz Adam F. Maligalig
The progress of human civilization throughout the
history mirrors the development of science and
technology. The human person both the bearer and
the beneficiary of science and technology
flourishes and finds meaning in the world he
builds. In the pursuit of good life man acquires,
consume or destroys what the world has to offer.
Hence it is necessary to reflect on this matter
taking science and technology as part of life that
requires reflective and meditative thinking despite
of its methodical and technical in nature.
