UST 320 - Crucial Questions 4: Human Futures


Crucial Questions 4. Human Futures considers possible futures of humanity, based on different types of knowledge or “ways of knowing”. Going across time and considering selected cultures and groups, we consider how the questions we ask and the assumptions we bring to bear determine the outcomes we project. How do we know what we know? Whence does that knowledge arise? What is our responsibility to act once we have awareness and understanding to ourselves, to our communities and society, to the world of the future?
