Summary
This volume on the philosophy of tecnology collects new work by the most talented young philosophers in the subject. It is a unique collection that crosses the divide between analytic and continental philosophy, showing that the rising challenges and extraordinary new possibilities brought about by technological developments necessitate the emergence of new forms of critical philosophical reflection. Thought-provoking and rigorous, this book will stimulate and direct further philosophical research for students and researchers in philosophy of science and technology. Book jacket.
