Tags: philosophy, ethics, technology

The philosophy of technology is the philosophical investigation of artefacts, systems, and the practices they sustain. It is younger than most of philosophy and older than most of computing — its modern form took shape in the mid-20th century, when Heidegger, Ellul, and Mumford each independently concluded that the technological systems of industrial modernity had begun to reshape the humans inside them. Key sections include: Ethics of Technology.; Opening The question concerning technology.; Chapter I Heidegger on enframing.; Chapter II Ellul on technique.; Chapter III Mumford on the megamachine.; Chapter IV Postman and media ecology.; Chapter V Do artefacts have politics?; Chapter VI Borgmann on the device paradigm.; Chapter VII Verbeek and post-phenomenology.; Chapter VIII Floridi on the infosphere..

Slides: 16
Tags: philosophy, existentialism

Existentialism is not a doctrine. It is a family of related insistences. Existence (the lived, particular, situated) precedes essence (the abstract, general, defined). The human being is not a thing with a fixed nature; it is a project that has to be made up as it goes. Freedom comes with anguish. Authenticity is rare and difficult. Death is not the end of life so much as life's organising fact. Key sections include: Existence before essence; What it is, what it isn't; Søren Kierkegaard; Friedrich Nietzsche; Martin Heidegger; Jean-Paul Sartre; Albert Camus; Simone de Beauvoir; Saint-Germain-des-Prés; The Existentialist Argument.
