Bartłomiej KnosalaWydział Organizacji i ZarządzaniaPolitechnika ŚląskaMyśl i działalność Buckminstera Fullera – od utopii technologicznej do świętej technologiiAbstrakt: Artykuł prezentuje myśl i działalność amerykańskiego wizjonera Buckminstera Fullera w kontekście jego projektu utopii technologicznej.  Analizując założenia leżące u podstaw tego projektu (tzw. Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science), zauważamy, że jest on szczególnym nawiązaniem do antycznej kategorii logosu. W takim ujęciu uzgodnienienie logosu jednostkowego z logosem powszechnym przyjmuje postać dostosowania się ludzkości do „systemu operacyjnego natury”, przy czym narzędziem tego dostosowania jest technologia. Jednocześnie odnosząc się do interpretacji myśli Fullera zaproponowanej przez Scotta Easthama, pokazujemy, iż samo rozumienie technologii przez Fullera jest związane z tzw. świętą geometrią. W takim ujęciu możliwe staje się połączenie w spójną całość technologii i duchowości.Słowa kluczowe: Buckminster Fuller, utopia, utopia technologiczna, święta geometria, kopuły geodezyjne, Scott Eastham Buckminster Fuller and His WorkFrom Technological Utopia to Sacred Technology The article presents the work of American visionary Buckminster Fuller in the context of his project of technological utopia. Analyzing the assumptions underlying this project (the so-called Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science), we note that Fuller's thought is a form of reference to the ancient category of logos. In his approach,  the reconciliation of individual logos with common logos takes the form of humanity's adaptation to the "nature operating system", with technology being the tool for this adaptation. At the same time, referring to the interpretation of Fuller's ideas proposed by Scott Eastham, the author shows that Fuller's understanding of technology is related to the so-called sacred geometry. When approached from this perspective, technology and spirtuality can be seen as merging into a coherent whole.Keywords: Buckminster Fuller, utopia, technological utopia, sacred geometry, Scott Eastham
