This volume features 16 essays on the philosophy of technology that
discuss its identity, its position in philosophy in general, and
the role of empirical studies in philosophical analyses of
engineering ethics and engineering practices. This volume is
published about fifteen years after Peter Kroes and Anthonie
Meijers published a collection of papers under the title The
empirical turn in the philosophy of technology, in which they
called for a reorientation toward the practice of engineering, and
sketched the likely benefits for philosophy of technology of
pursuing its major questions in an empirically informed way. The
essays in this volume fall apart in two different kinds. One kind
follows up on The empirical turn discussion about what the
philosophy of technology is all about. It continues the search for
the identity of the philosophy of technology by asking what comes
after the empirical turn. The other kind of essays follows the call
for an empirical turn in the philosophy of technology by showing
how it may be realized with regard to particular topics. Together
these essays offer the reader an overview of the state of the art
of an empirically informed philosophy of technology and of various
views on the empirical turn as a stepping stone into the future of
the philosophy of technology.
