This course examines the character and influence of modern science and technology. Questions to be addressed include: What do current scientific theories, such as Darwinism and Quantum Mechanics, tell us about ourselves and our universe? How are such theories produced? Do they have a privileged claim to truth? How is scientific knowledge used, and who is, or should be, controlling it? How does technology shape our lives? Are we now too dependent upon it?
