New Waves in Philosophy of Technology

Abstract

The volume advances research in the philosophy of technology by introducing contributors who have an acute sense of how to get beyond or reframe the epistemic, ontological and normative limitations that currently limit the fields of philosophy of technology and science and technology studies. The book provides a sense of recent trends in the philosophy of technology, distinguishing three twentieth-century waves of philosophers of technology from Heidegger through critical social theorists to contemporary thinkers like Albert Borgmann and Andrew Feenberg.
