ABOUT | GOALS
Minds and Machines Page is dedicated to an NJIT course of the same name and course catalog name (STS 351)
Topics included in the course are the origins/history of mechanical explanations, Western Philosophy, and the beliefs, perspectives, and opinions of well-known philosophers. The Minds and Machines Page will serve as a site with helpful, ancillary material edited by the students of the course. The ultimate goal of the site is to make sure the students can have a place for course content reinforcement and to learn something new within the subject.
The unique part of this research project is that it should be dynamic, edited annually by the next lead editor, assigned by the professor
Discussion Units:
