Abstract

This study explores the enduring relevance of Jacob Bronowski’s seminal work, “The Ascent of Man,” to the rapidly evolving landscape of digital technology. Bronowski’s interdisciplinary approach to understanding human progress provides a unique lens through which to examine the ethical, cultural, and philosophical implications of our digital age. The research employs a qualitative analysis of Bronowski’s key concepts, juxtaposing them against contemporary technological developments and their societal impacts. Particular attention is given to Bronowski’s ideas on the evolution of knowledge, the integration of arts and sciences, and the moral responsibilities of scientific advancement. These themes are examined in the context of artificial intelligence, big data, and the increasing digitalization of human experience. The study reveals striking parallels between Bronowski’s vision of human ascent and the trajectory of digital innovation, highlighting the continued importance of maintaining a holistic, humanistic perspective in technological progress.
