Time, Money, and Love in the Age of Technology
Many people in technological societies complain of "time poverty." What are the real
relationships between time, money, and love in our lives? Where is love in a world
dominated by the technological paradigm? Is there a balance to be found? Does
technology make us happy? What is the good life? How can we cultivate peace of mind in
a world of rapid change? These and other fundamental questions will be at the heart of
a Socratic dialogue.

Comments from students and
participants
"I loved it.
The professor treated us as equals and we all got to voice our opinions on
issues that were brought up in class. It was very stimulating. - student
in fall 2006 seminar taught by Professor Azevedo
"It was taught
extremely well. Professor Azevedo knows what he is talking about and is
extremely qualified. He did a great job." - student in fall 2006 seminar
taught by Professor Azevedo
"You seem to be an Ancient Greek trapped in the 21st century, and thereby
you are showing people what you already know... You are doing GOOD work
for the education of young minds I see...I have learned more of myself and
my own philosophical intuition in your class than I have anywhere else.
You have one of the few classes I will leave and say "that class actually
taught me something." You are bringing real education to real people, not
abstractions to statistics. You are living Nietzsche's impossible command
"to bring out another humans overman." This is not kiss-ass words I am
writing to you, this is truth, and you are doing GOOD. The least important
part of education is learning facts, the most important part of education
is finding yourself without abstraction." - God Speed Ryan
