The lab draws on modern European thought to re-examine what it means to be human in the Anthropocene.

AboutAbout the lab
The "will to know," examined as a question
The Dalgliesh Lab studies philosophical critique, the ethics of internationalization, and science and technology studies.
The starting point of the lab's research is to make the "will to know" itself recognized as a problem.
Drawing on modern European thought from Kant through Nietzsche to Foucault, the lab has developed a philosophical method called "critical history."
The lab holds that the way humans exist today should be considered within the horizon of the Anthropocene as an event.
