This course will survey the history and
historiography of technology in the late modern period. The course will begin by studying how a
separate domain of technology first came to be defined, in theory and practice,
during the eighteenth century within such diverse activities as agriculture,
time measurement, transport, architecture, and warfare. We will then address how institutional
forces such as law, academia, business and government came to define and
influence technological change and scientific research during the industrial
revolution. Throughout the course, we
will avoid casting the history of technology solely as a history of 'things'
and instead focus on technology as a process embedded within research agendas,
institutions, social expectations, economics, and specific use -- and thus as
part of a broader 'socio-technical system.'
Case studies ranging from the bicycle and nuclear missile targeting to
public health statistics and the birth control pill will allow us to develop
'internal' accounts of the development of technology and science in conjunction
with 'external' accounts of the historical context of technologies. The course will conclude with an assessment
of recent approaches to the history of technology, such as the influence of
systems theory or actor-network theory.
Authors read will include Hacking, Heidegger, Hughes, Landes, Latour,
Lenoir, Luhmann, Mokyr, Spengler, and Wise. If course space is limited,
preference will be given to History and History of Science concentrators.

interest: Classical Studies
An introduction to the history and philosophy of
science. T. S. Kuhn's model of historical progress will be used to examine
selected parts of discourses involving pre‑Socratic philosophy,
mythology, Copernican astronomy, Galileo's trial, and Newton's philosophy. A
critique of method will introduce modern historiographic and philosophic
controversy. Designed as a core course for studies in history, philosophy, and
sociology of science; no prior mathematical or technical expertise will be
presumed at this level. Readings include excerpts from the Enuma Elish, the
Milesians, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle, Ptolemy, Copernicus,
Kepler, Galileo, and Newton. Secondary commentary by Nahm, Butterfield, Kuhn,
Munitz, and others.
