Philosophy in the Library: How Philosophical Conceptions of Engineering Shape the World Around Us 7:30 pm
Philosophy in the Library: How Philosophical Conceptions of Engineering Shape the World Around Us @ Brooklyn Public Library
Oct 3 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
There are numerous books about the philosophy of science, but relatively few focus on the philosophy of engineering. Why has the philosophy of engineering been undeveloped in contrast to science? While many engineers prefer to build new things rather than philosophize, a key explanation for the neglect of engineering is an unjustified misconception about the importance of abstract theoretical and scientific knowledge versus engineering knowledge.

Embodied Cognition and Prosthetics: Are Our Tools Part of Our Bodies and Minds? 4:00 pm
Embodied Cognition and Prosthetics: Are Our Tools Part of Our Bodies and Minds? @ Heyman Center Second Floor Common Room
Oct 15 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Tools can be understood as extensions of the body, and in some cases as becoming part of the body. Does our mind extend to our tools? How[...]
