03 - How does technology shape the way we think?
Tue, Jan 23
In today's class, we will begin to consider how technology use and development might shape our moral imagination. Through the readings and in-class discussion you will:
- Develop an understanding of how technology can shape the mind and ability to think morally
- Articulate a position on whether technology is making us less moral, and why. This is a preliminary position and is expected to be updated with greater nuance as we work through the course.
The lecture slides for today's class can be found here.
