enthaltenThe course will provide an overview of philosophical questions about intellectual autonomy, our ability to govern ourselves as thinkers. “Thinking for yourself” is a traditional educational emphasis; but recent history has also dramatized the risks of “doing your own research” instead of trusting experts on topics from climate change to vaccine risks to election outcomes. Meanwhile, the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT illustrates the possibility of “outsourcing” some of our thinking to technology; and problems of misinformation press us to consider how individuals and governments can permissibly shape people’s intellectual behavior. This course brings these topics into perspective by considering how the value of intellectual autonomy relates to our dependence on other people, labor-saving tools, and healthy informational environments.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
