Students get to know some of the main positions in relation to philosophical issues in design for values, and the main arguments in the relevant debates.

This includes issues like: - The nature of values and the relation between values and norms - The possibility to embody values in technology - Value incommensurability, value pluralism and value monism As part of this course, PhD students will also practice the skill: reviewing.
