At the end of the Medieval World, Descartes and Kant attempt to promote Man as an autonomous ground, taking the traditional place of God. The promotion of man undermines the authority of God, but as an autonomous ground Man turns out to be existentially insufficient. The dual failure of God and Man as ground, leaves us with the threat of nihilism. The answer depends upon whether one can uncover an authority other than us that, although not a Supreme Being, nevertheless serves as a ground.

Howard Rheingold. Howard Rheingold (born July 7, 1947) is a critic, writer, and teacher; his specialties are on the cultural, social and political implications of modern communication media such as the Internet, mobile telephony and virtual communities (a term he is credited with inventing). Biography[edit] Rheingold was born in Phoenix, Arizona. He attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, from 1964 to 1968. His senior thesis was entitled "What Life Can Compare with This? Sitting Alone at the Window, I Watch the Flowers Bloom, the Leaves Fall, the Seasons Come and Go. In 1998, he created his next virtual community, Brainstorms, a private successful webconferencing community for knowledgeable, intellectual, civil, and future-thinking adults from all over the world. Rheingold in Mill Valley. In 2002, Rheingold published Smart Mobs, exploring the potential for technology to augment collective intelligence.
Rheingold lives in Mill Valley, California, with his wife Judy and daughter Mamie. See also[edit] You're Invited! Howard Rheingold's Peeragogy Project Welcomes Co-Learners. Howard Rheingold, legendary author of Smart Mobs and the forthcoming NetSmart (MIT Press, March 2012) doesn't "teach" at Stanford and Berkeley. He "colearns" and not just with students there but with anyone who wants to participate.
And that means us. He has extended an open invitation to be part of his "Peeragogy Project. " What he is up to this semester is a collaborative, open peeragogy handbook--a wiki-based collaborative project where anyone who joins in can contribute bibliography, ideas, examples, and other content to an open resource to guide others in the fine art of peer-to-peer teaching. As Howard notes: "In preparation for this project, I've asked a talented student to put together a peeragogy literature review, based on my unorganized collection of links about paragogy. Here is a proposed initial outline for the source book. I love that. If you are interested, you can contact Howard Rheingold in several different ways via social media:
