PHIL 24D: Tutorial: Thinking Together: Deliberation, Collaboration, and Instagram?

Tutorial taught by grad student. Enrollment limited to 10. When is it appropriate to like a thirst trap on Instagram? How should agents reason together about important questions determining how we live together? At what should such reasoning aim? Can on-line communities/collaborations like various sub-reddits and Wikipedia provide a model for how we can reason/live together? How does collective reasoning go well and when can it close? Do debates on Twitter call for a different model of democratic deliberation?At first glance, some of the above questions are not like the others, only some are seen (according to traditional modes of philosophical inquiry) as meaningful objects of philosophical analysis. An aim of this course is challenge this orthodoxy and explore how the answers to these disparate questions might be connected and instructive. The central questions we will try to answer together concern when we should put our heads together to solve problems, how we can do so effectively, and what technological developments might offer by way of aid and impediment to responsible and effective collaboration.Our exploration of these questions will involve various discussions in social and political philosophy, epistemology, tech ethics, and the philosophy of action. We will be drawing on thinkers familiar to the Anglo-American canon, as well as perspectives and approaches drawn from African philosophy, feminist theory, communication studies, and Indigenous American philosophy.
