The theme of this course and the assigned course readings is science and technology as an engine of modernity. Throughout the next 5 weeks we will explore ideas and views on science and technology that are both optimistic and critical, perspectives that see the human species as a form of technology (machine) or identify the world as a site of domination through science and technology.
keeping the goal of this course in mind, draw on at least 1 specific example from this week’s video lectures, and at least 1 example from the assigned readings to answer the following question:
