Philosophy of Technology: An introduction for technology and
business students is an accessible guide to technology's changes ,
their ubiquitousness, and the many questions these raise. Designed
for those with no philosophical background in mind, it is ideal for
technology and engineering students or specialists who want to
learn to think critically about how their work influences society
and our daily lives. The technological, business environment and
daily experiences are the starting point of the book and the
authors' reflect upon these practices from a philosophical point of
view. The text goes on to present a critical analysis of the
subject including development, manufacturing, sales and marketing
and the use of technological products and services. The abstract
ideas are made easier to grasp with a story-telling approach: a
vivid history of the discipline and colourful portraits of the core
thinkers in this domain, as well as four case studies drawing from
various engineering disciplines to demonstrate how philosophy can
and should influence technology in practice. The first
comprehensive introduction to this vibrant young sub-discipline in
over 20 years, this is an ideal textbook for students of technology
and engineering beginning a course or project in the philosophy of
their subject.
