 WHAT IS THE COURSE?

• This interdisciplinary course engages students to confront the realities brought

about by science and technology in society. Such realities pervade the personal,
the public, and the global aspects of our living and are integral to human
development. Scientific knowledge and technological development happen in
the context of society with all its socio-political, cultural, economic, and
philosophical underpinnings at play. This course seeks to instill reflective
knowledge in the students that they are able to live the good life and display
ethical decision making in the face of scientific and technological
advancement.

question of “What is the self?” And raising, among others,
the question: “Is there even such a construct as the self?”
