Philosophy

PHIL6061Philosophy of Technology3 ch
A philosophical investigation of the nature of technology and the effects that technology has on our lives. We will consider questions such as the following: Does living in a technological society impact the way that we look at ourselves and at the world around us? What are the positive and negative effects of the continuing incorporation of computers into our lives? Does biotechnology offer the promise of better and healthier lives for human beings and other organisms, or is it an ethically suspect means of interfering with natural development?
