Technical Artefacts: Creations of Mind and Matter: A Philosophy of Engineering Design
ISBN: 9789401785099 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book presents an attempt to understand the nature of technical artefacts and the way they come into being. Its primary focus is the kind of technical artefacts designed and produced by modern engineering. In spite of their pervasive influence on human thinking and doing, and therefore on the modern human condition, a philosophical analysis of technical artefacts and engineering design is lacking. Among the questions addressed are: How do technical artefacts fit into the furniture of the universe? In what sense are they different from objects from the natural world, or from the social...

The Moral Status of Technical Artefacts
ISBN: 9789402405255 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book considers the question: to what extent does it make sense to qualify technical artefacts as moral entities? The authors contributions trace recent proposals and topics including instrumental and non-instrumental values of artefacts, agency and artefactual agency, values in and around technologies, and the moral significance of technology. The editors introduction explains that as agents rather than simply passive instruments, technical artefacts may actively influence their users, changing the way they perceive the world, the way they act in the world and the way they...

A Philosophy of Technology: From Technical Artefacts to Sociotechnical Systems
ISBN: 9783031799693 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In A Philosophy of Technology: From Technical Artefacts to Sociotechnical Systems, technology is analysed from a series of different perspectives. The analysis starts by focussing on the most tangible products of technology, called technical artefacts, and then builds step-wise towards considering those artefacts within their context of use, and ultimately as embedded in encompassing sociotechnical systems that also include humans as operators and social rules like legislation. Philosophical characterisations are given of technical artefacts, their context of use and of sociotechnical...
