1 PHILOSOPHY 498D/4 A Environment and Technology: Philosophical Perspectives 2009/2010 TueThu 16:15-17:30 V. Zeman, PR 301, ext.2508 zemvlad@alcor.concordia.ca It is generally assumed that on these issues philosophers either took a conservative, romantic and basically negative approach or that they have uncritically accepted the benefits of modern civilisation without subjecting our situation to a critical scrutiny. In this seminar, we will discuss some central points of this problem area and shall acquaint ourselves with some representative positions within contemporary philosophy.

5 April 11 TERM PAPER DUE Final paper: You can take one of two routes: 1/ select topic contained in one of the books listed above but supplement it with additional literature; 2/ make your choice from the following list of suggested topics: 01 The idea of sustainable society and the possible limits of its application. 02 Can the 19th century concepts of labour and alienation be retained? 03 Are the various forms of radical ecology compatible with our idea of democracy? 04 Is rationality in all its forms incompatible with new conceptions of ecology and technology? 05 Is the responsibility towards nature a purely ethical concept? 06 What are the possible lifestyle implications of the value change proposed by either environmental ethics or deep ecology (choose one author only)? 07 Is it possible that radical ecology overestimates the role of ideology and underestimates the importance of some basic human needs? 08 Interpret critically the claim that nature and life are gestalt concepts. 09 Albert Schweitzer s philosophy of life and its critics. 10 Considering our present philosophical ideas on technology and ecology, what sort of adjustments to our traditional conception of humanism might be required? 11 Which, if any, might be the limits society should impose on technological innovation? 12 Present, support and criticize the Romantic conceptions of nature and technology. However, whichever way you choose, supply me with a one page long outline before March 2! Rule of thumb for avoiding plagiarism charge: do not copy, paraphrase or translate anything from anywhere without saying from where you obtained it!
