COURSE DESCRIPTION
The question of whether and how technologies embody values is not new. It has been discussed in the philosophy of technology, where several accounts have been developed. Some authors deny that technologies are, or can be, value-laden, while others see technologies as imbued with values due to the way they have been designed. Still others treat technologies as moral agents, somewhat similar to human agents, and some even argue for abandoning the distinction between (human) subjects and (technological) objects altogether in understanding how technologies may embody values.
