Philosophy of Communications

Moving beyond just using tools for enhancing our lives, we have first attempted to make technology become the extensions of our limbs and then have in recent times begun to reconstitute our own selves in accordance with the demands of technology. The course examines the relationship between the medium and the message in the context of this emergent technology, which demands that we be more like machines. The course examines the consequences of the technological revolution. Offered alternate years. Prerequisite: any 100-level Philosophy course or consent of instructor.
