American Philosophy of Technology – The Empirical Turn
Autor Hans Achterhuisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 iul 2001
Six Dutch philosophers associated with Twente University survey and critique the full scope and development of their American colleagues' work, often illustrating shifts from earlier to more recent interests. Individual chapters focus on Borgmann's engagement with technology and everyday life; Dreyfus's work on the limits of artificial intelligence; Feenberg's perspectives on the cultural and social possibilities opened by technologies; Haraway's conception of the cyborg and its attendant blurring of boundaries; Ihde's explorations of the placeof technology in the lifeworld; and Winner's fascination with the moral and political implications of modern technologies.
American Philosophy of Technology offers and insightful and readable introduction to thisrelatively new philosophical field.
