On Tuesday, we will discuss Bleecker and Jenkinson, and we will move on to the Chaing short story. Please come to class prepared to discuss all these works.
Remember, your second 10 comments are due by this thursday at midnight!
Finally, we will have our final screening on Thursday at 7pm. The room has changed: it will be in 113 Davenport Hall. As always, I will bring snacks. Feel free to being your friends, although seating may be limited.
We will be watching the local underground cult class Love Machine. The documentary interviews a wide range of famous philosophers, roboticists, sex experts, and tech wizards to ask the burning question: can you ever love a machine? You can read more about the film in the official press release from the original screening at the Beckman Institute a few years ago. You will definitely recognize some of the names in the film, as well as most of the topics discussed.
Because this movie is so wildly popular, a few other classes might show up. Additionally, a lot of my fellow philosophy grad students are coming to see the film, many for the first time. So be prepared to see some new faces. Hopefully this means we will have a good discussion afterwards.
