Philosophy has never been more relevant as we tackle key challenges in today’s ever changing society.
Should robots have rights? Has the surveillance state gone too far? How do we respond to the climate emergency? And what are the benefits of space tourists visiting other planets?
Take our Philosophy of Nature, Information and Technology MA and you’ll be debating and researching at the cutting edge. We do ‘philosophy now’.
The course elaborates on an understanding of the material world as a complex network in which information is exchanged – a world of communication.
It draws on contemporary philosophy (Michel Serres, Donna Haraway, N Katherine Hayles, Karan Barad)), information theory, cybernetics, and science, but also on the history of philosophy (Lucretius, Leibniz).
Human life, biological and social, is embedded in the open communication of the material world, offering a new perspective on problems that demand our attention today, such as our relation to nature, the climate emergency and the transformation by new technologies of what we understand as human.
From the local to the global, you’ll see how philosophy connects with the world around us.
Honours degree of 2:2 or above, or relevant professional experience.
Language level must be at least IELTS 6-6.5 or equivalent. However, you’ll be considered if you have a level of fluency to meet the needs of the course.
The course is delivered through digital platforms so internet access is a requirement.
