Study Notes
Copernicus
- Copernicus proposed that the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun
- Copernicus argued that his heliocentric model was more elegant and symmetrical than the geocentric model
- Copernicus' model placed the planets in the correct order from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
- Copernicus correctly deduced that the closer a planet is to the Sun, the faster it moves, as it has to travel a greater distance in the same time period to maintain the same orbital period.
- Copernicus could not prove that Earth revolves around the sun
Galileo Galilei
- Galileo advocated for observation and experimentation to understand the natural world
- Galileo pioneered modern scientific concepts of observation, experimentation, and testing hypotheses through careful quantitative measurements
- Galileo refuted the idea that rest is the natural state of matter
- Galileo discovered that objects accelerate uniformly
- Galileo showed that in a vacuum, objects of different masses will fall at the same rate
Modern technology
- Modern technology, according to Heidegger, is a "challenge" to the world's resources, exploitative but revealing
- Sociotechnical theories explain the relationship between humans and technologies, and how those relationships impact organization and use.
- Sociotechnical theories developed from early concepts of human and machine behavior to the complex interaction between culture, society, and technical components
Heidegger
- Philosopher Martin Heidegger used the term "enframing" to describe modern technology as a means to turn nature into a resource
- Heidegger viewed the world as a "standing reserve" for our use, and described it as a resource to be stored for later consumption
- Heidegger viewed modern technology as an expedient way of conquering the world
- Heidegger's perspective views technology as a way of relating to the world
- Heidegger argued that different technologies are different ways of relating to reality
