Beyond ecological modernization
Crouching Predictions, Hidden Hopes
The article presents an historico-philosophical narrative of developments in the philosophy of technology across four generations: (1) the late 1800s work of such figures as Ernst Kapp and Karl Marx, (2) the mid-20th century analysis of technology as a challenge to the lifeworld by such thinkers as José Ortega y Gasset, Martin Heidegger, and Jacques Ellul, (3) a pragmatist, empirical turn by late twentieth century US American and Dutch philosophe…

What Is Living and What Is Dead in Classic European Philosophy of Technology?
Classic European philosophy of technology is the original effort to think critically rather than promotionally about the historically unique mutation that is anchored in the Industrial Revolution and has since progressively transformed the world and itself. Three representative contributions to this pivotal philosophical project can be found in texts by Alan Turing, Jacques Ellul, and Martin Heidegger. Despite having initiated analytic, sociologi…

The Gene-Edited Babies Controversy in China
The concept of field philosophy challenges a common self-understanding in Western philosophy. One question regarding this challenge is the extent to which it might be relevant to a philosophical and cultural tradition other than that in which it originated. The birth of gene-edited babies in late 2018 in Shenzhen and subsequent response within China offer an occasion for considering such a question. A narrative review, emphasizing how discussions…
Sinology with Engineering Characteristics
Jue Hou’s study of interactions between computer engineers and Chinese script reformers in the 1970s enriches growing STS and China studies interest in Chinese engineering. It can also make a distinctive sinological contribution to contemporary efforts to develop the field of comparative philology

Energy Ethics Outside the Box
He is widely recognized as a contributor to the philosophy of science-technology-engineering and is currently at work on a book about the philosophy of engineering. He also reads widely in an effort to make philosophically relevant connections between different approaches to thinking in a world that is now trying to figure out how to live with its love of and worries about energy. Indeed, he had a number of recent books at hand as we proceeded in…

Exploring Qualitatively-Derived Concepts
Analytic induction is a sacred tenet of qualitative inquiry. 1 Therefore, when one begins a project focusing on concept of interest (rather than allowing the concepts to emerge from the data per se), how does one maintain a valid approach? When commencing inquiry with a chosen concept or phenomena of interest, rather than with a question from the data per se about what is going on, how does one control deductive tendencies to see what one desires…

A historico-ethical perspective on engineering education
In the United States, professional ethics has become a standard part of engineering education. Such educational practice has an intellectual history that invites critical reflection. This article constitutes one such reflection, oriented not so much toward historical knowledge or the production of more engineers as toward developing a critical appreciation of engineering from a broad historico-ethical perspective. The argument advances through th…

Qualitative Science Policy
Qualitative research struggles against a tide of quantitative methods. To assist in this struggle, it is useful to consider the historical and philosophical origins of quantitative methods as well as criticisms that have been raised against them. Although these criticisms have often been restricted to discussions in the philosophy of science, they have become increasingly prominent in debates regarding science policy. This article thus reviews cu…
The plea for balance in the public funding of science
Symposium Conclusion - Issues of Validity
Qualitative inquiry that commences with the concept, rather than the phenomenon itself, is subject to violating the tenet of induction, thus is exposed to particular threats of invalidity. In this symposium, using the examples of the concepts of uncertainty, trust, vulnerability and suffering, and interview and videotaped data, we discuss strategies to maintain the inductive thrust, and hence validity, during data analysis. The authors present th…
From the Philosophy of Information to the Philosophy of Information Culture
The contemporary world is experiencing an ongoing cultural change, made both distinctive and far-reaching by the centrality of information and information technologies. In light of this development, we propose a research path in the philosophy of information that could be called the philosophy of information culture(s). After a brief survey of the idea of culture, we reflect on the interrelationships between information and culture. We focus on t…

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 459 result in technologies directed at “optimization rather than maximi zation,” “cultivation [rather than] manipulation,” and “differentiation rather then centralization” (p. 134). This latter has the ring of new-age gobbledygook but fortunately is not typical of the book. The best sections of this text are the ones on defining technology and on the differences between theoretical and practical intelligence. …
