Steve Jobs represents a whole range of values and ideas in
pluralistic American culture. He was a barefoot hippy capitalist
who did more to change our everyday lives than anyone since Thomas
Edison. Coming from modest means and education, he revolutionized
several key industries and became fantastically wealthy. In Steve
Jobs and Philosophy 16 philosophers examine the inspiring yet often
baffling world of Steve Jobs. What can we learn about business
ethics from his example? What are the major virtues of a creative
innovator? How could Jobs defy conventional business practices? How
did he combine values and attitudes previously believed to be
unmixable? What does it really mean to "think different"? Can
entrepreneurs be made or are they just born? If Jobs didn't make
any major inventions, what was his contribution? What does Jobs
teach us about the notions of simplicity and functionality in
design? How do Jobs's achievements alter the way we think about
technology in relation to human life? Steve Jobs and Philosophy
covers vital issues in ethics, business, aesthetics, and
technology. It includes a fascinating appendix listing all the
philosophers mentioned in the book, along with explanations of
their lives and key themes in their thoughts.
