Philosophy and Professional Practice
Introduction
The Philosophy & Professional Practice research group contributes to an intellectual climate in which students, lecturers, researchers, employees and administrators feel challenged to coordinate their thoughts and actions.
About the research group
The Philosophy and Professional Practice research group analyses new technologies and the design practice, technological culture and society from which these emerge. This reveals underlying values, interests, assumptions and world views. By reflecting on the use of technology in professional practice and daily life, the research group creates awareness of the impact of technology on people, professions and society as a whole, including the associated professional and ethical dilemmas.
