UnSt 134 Life Unlimited?
This course delves into the fascinating relationship between non-living and living matter, life and death, nature and the artificial, humans and machines. Our inquiry starts with the fundamental question, “What is life?” We explore the ways the human search for “perfection” is embodied in various myths and utopian visions. As well as examining the risks and opportunities of technologies and how they redefine social relations and values.
Notes
This is the first term in a Freshman Inquiry series.
