Technology and the Good Life. How do our technologies shape what it means to live a good life?

This symposium creates a vital space for debate, inviting all who are interested in critically exploring the values and future directions embedded in our technological world. Thegoal is to start bridging a crucial divide in contemporary thought. Today, two powerful ways of understanding technology often remain separate: the detailed empirical studies of science and technology, which often set aside deeper normative questions and traditions of social critique that sometimes view technology merely as a force of alienation.

This symposium is an invitation to bring these perspectives together. We invite peopleto connect rich empirical analysis with profound ethical and philosophical critique, as we collectively interrogate the normative horizons of our technological age.

Let’s build a better conversation about our technological future.
