Course Description

This class will conduct a philosophical investigation into digital media— including television, film, social media, and virtual reality—to explore questions about perception and cognition. Questions include (but are not limited to): how do we perceive digital and non-digital content differently? What about our perceptual and cognitive faculties enable television and film to be so culturally formative? In what way does social media usage affect our attention, cognitive patterns, and personal identity? Will virtual reality influence our engagement with a non-virtual world?
