Philosophy of Science, Technology and Society-Uni

The PSTS program teaches students to analyze the place of science and technology in the contemporary world, especially regarding their implications for society and culture.
The program also focuses on more fundamental reflection on the nature of science and technology, and the history of their development. Most attention, however, will be devoted to the ways in which products of science and technology change society, and to the ways in which we can or should influence such consequences.

The PSTS program exhaustively discusses philosophical theories of technology, the relation between engineering science and natural science, and the role of science and technology in society and culture. Thorough training in reflection on the nature of science and technology, and their social and cultural roles prepares students to conduct research within this field, using philosophical and multidisciplinary methods for analyzing issues of science, technology and society and to perform analyses of public debates and controversies.

Only PSTS offers an applied philosophy of technology, which is characterized as a young, innovative field of science, with an internationally recognized expert community in Twente.
