This book is the first academic work on the philosophy of
engineering in China that reflects two decades of research. It puts
forward a new thesis, namely that the core maxim in the philosophy
of engineering is "I create, therefore I am," which is radically
different from the Cartesian maxim: "I think, therefore I am." In
addition, the book offers the first detailed portrait of the roots
and evolution of the philosophy of engineering in China. The book
begins by discussing the triptych thesis of science, technology and
engineering, which argues that there are a number of important
distinctions between the three, e.g. scientific activities are
chiefly based on discovery, while technological activities center
on invention, and engineering activities focus on creation.
Considering the latest developments in the philosophy of
engineering, the author also analyzes engineering communities,
engineering practice and a micro-meso-macro framework. In
subsequent chapters, the author separately analyzes the three
stages of engineering activities: planning, operating and using
artifacts. In the closing chapter, two views on the philosophy of
engineering (as a new subdiscipline of philosophy and as a
philosophy in its own right) are briefly explained.
