"Some great philosopher should write a book about people --
and there are many of them -- who flee from discussions of substance and try to
turn them into discussions of process. Utterly at a loss when asked to talk
about virtue and justice, they try to shift attention to technology and methods
of communication. They imagine that by altering machines they can alter the
fundamentals of behavior, or at least avoid the dark thickets of human nature."
