Description

CS2031 Philosophy of Technology
This course provides a historical survey of the philosophy of technology-using Martin Heidegger?s seminal lecture-'The Question Concerning Technology'- as a guide. Examining the ways in which technology has been addressed through time by different philosophical and critical traditions-from pre-Socratic discussions of techne to Deleuze?s machinic delirium-this course charts the progress of the human relationship with technology and the nature it mediates. While primarily concerned with philosophical developments-this course will index the evolution of such thinking to the state of technology and architecture at the time-emphasizing issues of particular importance for architects.
