Addressing the technological opportunities and challenges of the 21st century, Introduction to Philosophy of Technology offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive overview of philosophy of technology available. It covers several of the classic theories and approaches, but also moves beyond them to explore a broader range of theories and a number of new dynamics in the field, including responding to new technological developments. Esteemed scholar Mark Coeckelbergh emphasizes how new technological developments stimulate philosophical thinking--and rethinking--and how philosophers of technology could do more to interact with other subdisciplines in philosophy and fields beyond academia, such as art and policy.
This book investigates the core question of how technological advancements in the 21st century necessitate a re-evaluation of philosophical frameworks. Mark Coeckelbergh, an established scholar in the field, utilizes a synthesis of historical theory and contemporary technological developments to argue for a more integrated approach to philosophy of technology. He posits that philosophers must actively engage with external disciplines, including policy and the arts, to address the evolving challenges posed by modern innovation.
