University of Staffordshire

Philosophy of nature, information and technology MA

If you enroll in our MA program in Philosophy of Nature, Information, and Technology, you'll be conducting cutting-edge research and debating. Now, we practice philosophy.
The material world is explained in more detail in the course as a complex network where information is exchanged—a world of communication. It draws on science, information theory, cybernetics, and contemporary philosophy (Michel Serres, Donna Haraway, N Katherine Hayles, and Karan Barad), as well as the history of philosophy (Lucretius, Leibniz).
The biological and social aspects of human life are intertwined with the open communication of the material world, providing a fresh look at contemporary issues like our relationship to nature, the climate emergency, and how new technologies are redefining what it means to be human.
