Description
"We are a group of social theorists of technology interested in exploring the different ways individuals and social groups have thought about technology throughout history. This includes theories of technology with clearly defined frameworks, methods and concepts, such as Labor Process Theory, Critical Theory, and Phenomenology as well as different traditions of philosophical thought about technology, such as French Philosophy of Technology, Science & Technology Studies (STS), and the Empirical turn. We are also interested in non-traditional philosophies of technology found in the work of writers who are not typically considered social theorists of technology, such as Hannah Arendt and Hans Blumenberg, and the implicit philosophies of technology found across literature, film, and art.
On this website you will find different resources on the history of the philosophy of technology. This includes a timeline of works in the philosophy of technology from 1800-1980 and short summaries of some of the traditions that help make up the history of the philosophy of technology."
