In this collection we finally find the philosophy of technology, a
young and rapidly developing area of scholarly interest, making
contact with history of science and technology, and mainstream
epistemological and metaphysical issues. The sophistication of
these papers indicates the maturity of the field as it moves away
from the advocacy of anti-technology ideological posturing toward a
deeper understanding of the options and restraints technological
developments provide. The papers presented here take us over a
threshold into the real world of complicated social and
technological interactions where science and art are shown to be
integral to our understanding of technological change, and
technological innovations are seen as configuring our knowledge of
the world and opening up new possibilities for human development.
With its rich historical base, this volume will be of interest to
all students concerned about the interactions among technology,
society, and philosophy.
