This anthology features essays and book excerpts on technology and values written by preeminent figures in the field from the early 20th century to the present. It offers an in-depth range of readings on important applied issues in technology as well.
- Useful in addressing questions on philosophy, sociology, and theory of technology
- Includes wide-ranging coverage on metaphysics, ethics, and politics, as well as issues relating to gender, biotechnology, everyday artifacts, and architecture
- A good supplemental text for courses on moral or political problems in which contemporary technology is a unit of focus
- An accessible and thought-provoking book for beginning and advanced undergraduates; yet also a helpful resource for graduate students and academics
