About this Quote

This quote by Leon Kass recommends that there is an opportunity for a revival of non-technocratic thinking in the United States. By "technocratic," Kass most likely indicates a kind of believing that is extremely focused on technology and scientific development, which disregards the significance of other aspects of life such as morality, principles, and approach. Kass implies that this type of thinking has ended up being too common in the United States, and that it is time for a shift back to a more holistic method to life. He recommends that this shift could be a "renaissance" of sorts, a revival of the importance of non-technocratic thinking. This could mean a renewed focus on morality, principles, and approach, along with a higher appreciation for the arts and liberal arts. Kass's quote suggests that this shift is possible, which it might be beneficial for the United States.
