Engineering and Philosophy: Reimagining Technology and Social Progress: Philosophy of Engineering and Technology, cartea 37

Editat de Zachary Pirtle, David Tomblin, Guru Madhavan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mai 2022
​Engineers love to build “things” and have an innate sense of wanting to help society. However, these desires are often not connected or developed through reflections on the complexities of philosophy, biology, economics, politics, environment, and culture. To guide future efforts and to best bring about human flourishment and a just world, Engineering and Philosophy: Reimagining Technology and Progress brings together practitioners and scholars to inspire deeper conversations on the nature and varieties of engineering. The perspectives in this book are an act of reimagination: how does engineering serve society, and in a vital sense, how should it.
