PL 224 - Robots, Machines, & Humans (3)

This seminar is a critical examination of the role that technology plays in shaping values, our world and human nature. Through a variety of readings, film and other media, the seminar will address the following questions: How are cyborg technologies merely tools used by humans and how do humans themselves serve the ends of machines and technology? To what extent are values independent from, but also shaped by, technological developments? Can technology itself better our relationship with the environment and fellow humans and, in fact, should it? 2020 CORE: Liberal Arts, Philosophy. SP.
