PHIL 2485 Technology and the Environment
CREDIT HOURS: 3
What is technology and what role does it play in current environmental problems? Can technologies help us find solutions to environmental crises, or are those problems themselves a direct result of seeing the world from a technological point of view? In this course, we will assess the environmental impact of particular technologies (e.g., fossil fuel technologies, pharmaceutical and information technologies) and discuss sustainable alternatives and appropriate technologies in developing as well as developed nations.
