Humanistic future studies program

Abstract

“Many of our most serious problems have arisen because narrowly conceived technological improvements have failed to take account of side effects, deleterious or otherwise, which inevitably accompany a widespread technological change in society. The question then, for universities, is how to pursue multidisciplinary education, multidisciplinary research, and a wideranging discussion of our human problems irrespective of disciplinary boundaries or professional descriptions.”¹
