Engineering has always been a part of human life but has only
recently become the subject matter of systematic philosophical
inquiry. The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering
presents the state-of-the-art of this field and lays a foundation
for shaping future conversations within it. With a broad scholarly
scope and 55 chapters contributed by both established experts and
fresh voices in the field, the Handbook provides valuable insights
into this dynamic and fast-growing field. The volume focuses on
central issues and debates, established themes, and new
developments in: Foundational perspectives Engineering reasoning
Ontology Engineering design processes Engineering activities and
methods Values in engineering Responsibilities in engineering
practice Reimagining engineering The Routledge Handbook of the
Philosophy of Engineering will be of value for both students and
active researchers in philosophy of engineering and in cognate
fields (philosophy of technology, philosophy of design). It is also
intended for engineers working both inside and outside of academia
who would like to gain a more fundamental understanding of their
particular professional field. The increasing development of new
technologies, such as autonomous vehicles, and new
interdisciplinary fields, such as human-computer interaction, calls
not only for philosophical inquiry but also for engineers and
philosophers to work in collaboration with one another. At the same
time, the demands on engineers to respond to the challenges of
world health, climate change, poverty, and other so-called "wicked
problems" have also been on the rise. These factors, together with
the fact that a host of questions concerning the processes by which
technologies are developed have arisen, make the current Handbook a
timely and valuable publication.
