Developing a critical and ethical design approach through philosophical exploration of technology
These courses examined the philosophical foundations of technology, innovation, and design as a means to critically reflect on the ethical and societal dimensions of design practice. Engaging with theories from Kuhn, Lakatos, Mitcham, Marcuse, and Foucault, alongside feminist and transhumanist perspectives, the work explored how values, politics, and power structures are embedded within technological systems and artefacts. Through writing and argumentation, it investigated philosophy as a grounding tool for transformative design, positioning critical inquiry not as a separate discipline but as an active component of the design process itself, shaping how design can ethically contribute to societal change.
