Philosophy of technology
Philosophy of Technology: An Introduction guides readers through the core philosophical issues raised by technology's increasingly ubiquitous and powerful presence in society and our daily lives.

Steve Gould
Stephen Jay Gould combined in an extraordinary way scientific research, historical and philosophical critique, and political commitment. Through his popular writings and beguiling literary style he managed to reach a comparatively huge audience, a striking achievement given the depth of his historical and philosophical analyses and the political implications that could be drawn from them. It was not until Gould died last May that I realized how m…

Brecht and Lukács as teachers of Feyerabend and Lakatos
Feyerabend and Lakatos were invited to be assistants of the literary Marxists Brecht and Lukács, respectively. In the 1930s Expressionism Debate, Lukács associated artistic expressionism with irrationalism and fascism, while Brecht criticized Lukács' anti-modernism. Lakatos' criti cisms of Kuhn echo Lukács' denunciations of German idealism, and Lukács influenced the terminology and topics in Lakatos' methodol ogy. Lakatos, concerned with progress…
Philosophy of Math and Physics in the Sokal Affair
Time, Change, and Contradiction
For years, analytical philosophers raised in the tradition of Russell, the early Wittgenstein, and the Vienna Circle, along with idealist or "western" Marxists, have ridiculed Engels' "dialectics of nature" and the concomitant idea that change involves contradiction. In rejecting the dialectics of nature, Sartre and the early Lukacs surrendered nature to the positivists and neo-Kantians; Lichtheim and other pundits of English Marxology have attem…
"Conference on "Hegel and the Sciences
The Conference on “Hegel and the Sciences” sponsored by the Hegel Society and the Boston Colloquium for the Philosophy of Science was an admirable attempt to deal with an important and neglected topic. Discussion included contemporary dialectics of nature, careful expositions of Hegel's writings on science, and attempts to apply Hegel's dialectic to modern science. There was also unbounded speculation and superficiality which seemed calculated to…
Ampliative Inference, Abduction, and Philosophical Dialectics A Note on Robbins' Defense of Popper Against Salmon
In the first number of this journal J.C. Robbins has given a spirited defense of Popper's deductivism against Salmon's charge that it contains surreptitious inductive elements. Popper himself is willing to allow his opponents to call the conjectures-and-refutations method “inductivism” if they mean by it exactly what he means by corroboration. Popper does not wish to quibble about a word. On the other hand I believe Salmon, with his general conce…
