"Political Philosophy of Technology & Leo Strauss - Talk 2"

Professor Mitcham is a philosopher of engineering and technology, Professor Emeritus (Ee-MARE-uh-tus ) of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at the Colorado School of Mines and Visiting International Professor of Philosophy of Technology at Renmin University of China.
In this lecture, professor Mitcham reflects on the way in which philosophy, specially political philosophy, repeatedly and naively entails a return to beginnings. In light of discussions generated by the first talk, he wants to reiterate both themes and then advance their discussion by drawing again on Strauss.
