Technology is increasingly subject of attention from philosophers.
Philosophical reflection on technology exhibits a wide and at times
bewildering array of approaches and modes of thought. This volume
brings to light the development of three schools in the philosophy of
technology. Based on thorough introductions to Karl Marx', Martin
Heidegger's and John Dewey's thought about technology, the volume
offers an in-depth account of the way thinkers in the critical, the
phenomenological and the pragmatic schools have respond to issues and
challenges raised by the works of the founders of these schools.
Technologies in almost any aspect of human life is potentially subject
of philosophical treatment. To offer a focused demonstration of key
arguments and insights, the presentation of each school is concluded
with a contribution to discussions of educational technologies. In
addition to philosophers seeking a valuable and clear structuring of a
still burgeoning field, the volume is of interest to those working
with educational philosophy and value sensitive design. „Stig
Børsen Hansen’s book is a must for all interested in understanding
the development of the philosophy of technology and the relation of
thoughts of thinkers that have shaped the area. The author presents a
new and refreshing take on the ideas from Marx to Marcuse, from Dewey
to Latour, and Heidegger to Borgmann. It will engage and hopefully
provoke." Dr. Jan Kyrre Berg Friis, University of Copenhagen
