Technology is increasingly subject of attention from philosophers.
Philosophical reflection on technology exhibits a wide and at times
bewildering array of approaches and modes of thought. This volume
brings to light the development of three schools in the philosophy
of technology. Based on thorough introductions to Karl Marx',
Martin Heidegger's and John Dewey's thought about technology, the
volume offers an in-depth account of the way thinkers in the
critical, the phenomenological and the pragmatic schools have
respond to issues and challenges raised by the works of the
founders of these schools. Technologies in almost any aspect of
human life is potentially subject of philosophical treatment. To
offer a focused demonstration of key arguments and insights, the
presentation of each school is concluded with a contribution to
discussions of educational technologies. In addition to
philosophers seeking a valuable and clear structuring of a still
burgeoning field, the volume is of interest to those working with
educational philosophy and value sensitive design. "Stig Borsen
Hansen's book is a must for all interested in understanding the
development of the philosophy of technology and the relation of
thoughts of thinkers that have shaped the area. The author presents
a new and refreshing take on the ideas from Marx to Marcuse, from
Dewey to Latour, and Heidegger to Borgmann. It will engage and
hopefully provoke." Dr. Jan Kyrre Berg Friis, University of
Copenhagen
