Technical Spirituality at Work: Jacques Ellul on Workplace Spirituality.

The article discusses the concept of workplace spirituality in the context of the paradigm of technique as expounded by the French philosopher Jacques Ellul. It is said that workplace spirituality effects the subordination of the spiritual life to the needs of the corporation, becoming a technical spirituality as opposed to an authentic one. The distinction is emphasized between an authentic spirituality which could and ought to judge corporate behavior versus a workplace spirituality focused on using the spirit in the service of technique.
