851-0043-00L	Philosophy of the City	3 credits	2S	T. Lobo
Abstract	The course will provide an overview on the city in the history of philosophy. We will reflect on its role as a political achievement, as a technological artefact (e.g. as the product of Big Data or biomimetic construction), and as an ecosystem. Subsequently, we will discuss challenges around the compatibility of these differing aspects of the city.
Learning objective	The students will get to know the most significant texts in the philosophy of the city from the antiquity and up to current debates. They will practice closely reading complex philosophical texts, reflecting the arguments presented, as well as discussing them in a nuanced manner.
