In this course, students will develop a familiarity with major philosophical approaches to technology from ancient Greek considerations of types of knowledge to contemporary ways of understanding mass surveillance, artificial intelligence, and social media. A focus will be the relationship between technology, society, and the self. In addition to learning about these philosophical approaches, students will develop their ability to critically analyze, develop, and defend arguments relating to the social nature of technology.
