Philosophy of Technology The Interaction Lab Insider - June 2024

The Course by Nolen Gertz

The Philosophy of Technology course, given by Nolen Gertz, is part of the Master Philosophy of Science, Technology & Society (PSTS). Introducing students to the field, the course aims to cover many of the world's most important issues nowadays. What does it mean to be human in a technological world? What is the relationship between technology and nature? How does technology impact politics? According to the professor, the goal is to inspire students to question what kind of future they want and, based on that, reflect upon how technology could either help or prevent us from achieving this future.
