This co-edited volume compares Chinese and Western experiences of
engineering, technology, and development. In doing so, it builds a
bridge between the East and West and advances a dialogue in the
philosophy of engineering. Divided into three parts, the book
starts with studies on epistemological and ontological issues, with
a special focus on engineering design, creativity, management,
feasibility, and sustainability. Part II considers relationships
between the history and philosophy of engineering, and includes a
general argument for the necessity of dialogue between history and
philosophy. It continues with a general introduction to traditional
Chinese attitudes toward engineering and technology, and
philosophical case studies of the Chinese steel industry,
railroads, and cybernetics in the Soviet Union. Part III focuses on
engineering, ethics, and society, with chapters on engineering
education and practice in China and the West. The book's analyses
of the interactions of science, engineering, ethics, politics, and
policy in different societal contexts are of special interest. The
volume as a whole marks a new stage in the emergence of the
philosophy of engineering as a new regionalization of philosophy.
This carefully edited interdisciplinary volume grew out of an
international conference on the philosophy of engineering hosted by
the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. It
includes 30 contributions by leading philosophers, social
scientists, and engineers from Australia, China, Europe, and the
United States.
This is the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on
History of Machines and Mechanisms that was held in Beijing, China,
in September 2018. The Symposium provided an international forum
for presenting and discussing historical developments in the field
of Machine and Mechanism Science (MMS). Special sections focused on
the following topics: . modern reviews of past works * engineers in
history, and their works * direct memories of the recent past * the
development of theories * the history of the design of machines and
mechanisms * development of automation and robots * the development
of teaching of MMS * the schools and institutes of mechanical
engineering * the heritage of machines and mechanisms
