Book excerpt: Con profundo sentimiento de gratitud presentamos la versión en español del sensacional libro titulado "Fe y Esperanza en la Tecnología", escrito magistralmente por el filósofo-ingeniero Cristiano Dr. Egbert Schuurman, el cual apareció por vez primera en holandés en 1998, y después en inglés en 2003. En estos últimos años, los principios que se establecen en este libro se han constituido una base filosófica para enfrentar los retos que plantea el desarrollo tecnológico del siglo XXI, lo que otorga al libro pertinencia y vigencia. El libro es un tratado acerca de la Filosofía de la Tecnología desde un punto de vista Cristiano, enmarcado en la Filosofía de la Idea Cosmonómica o Reformacional, desarrollada por el filósofo Cristiano Herman Dooyeweerd. Desde esa posición, el autor desarrolla principios normativos para la tecnología, con el fin de evitar y resolver las tensiones en el desarrollo y uso de la tecnología. A la vez, propone un marco ético desde la ética de la responsabilidad. Con esta versión en español, acercamos a la comunidad científica y tecnológica de habla hispana una perspectiva acerca del significado de la tecnología y su papel en la cultura actual. El libro está dirigido a jóvenes universitarios que cursan estudios en los diversos campos de ingeniería y ciencias a nivel licenciatura, maestría y doctorado, para considerar la necesaria transformación de corazón, mente y manos, y arrojar luz a sus estudios que les permitan enfrentar con posibilidades de éxito los desafíos presentes y futuros que plantea la tecnología. Asimismo, el autor ofrece a los diseñadores de programas académicos en ciencias e ingeniería el enfoque filosófico que debe guiar la formación de profesionales. ¿Por qué es menester leer esta magnífica obra? - Porque el autor presenta la tecnología de manera clara y equilibrada en medio de una cultura altamente tecnificada. Reconoce los asombrosos avances tecnológicos y beneficios, produciendo un característico desarrollo cultural acelerado, sin perder de vista los grandes retos, riesgos y peligros que conlleva. - Porque la narrativa es desde una posición inimaginable tanto para filósofos como para ingenieros, ya que el autor dialoga con los lectores como ingeniero y como filósofo al mismo tiempo. En ese dialogo, motiva a los ingenieros para que vean más allá de la tecnología misma y reflexionen acerca de las fuerzas culturales que la gobiernan, e invita a los filósofos a discernir el significado de la tecnología. - Porque el autor revela el estado actual del hombre moderno, quien ha puesto su fe y esperanza en la tecnología, y hace un llamado para llevar a cabo una reorientación cultural, ya que de otro modo, los problemas que se derivan del desarrollo tecnológico se tornarán cada vez más difíciles. En ese llamado, ofrece una perspectiva enmarcada en el paradigma del jardín, cuyo desarrollo "se encuentra en la dirección de un jardín-ciudad; una ciudad con amplio espacio de vida, un lugar en el que hay armonía entre la tecnología y la naturaleza, entre la ciudad y el paisaje. En esa cultura, no existe tal cosa como la contaminación ambiental" ya que existe una consideración real del origen de esto último en una contaminación del corazón aún más profunda. - Porque el autor nos alerta acerca de los problemas actuales que enfrentan países más desarrollados científica y tecnológicamente hablando, de los cuales la comunidad de habla hispana habrá de alertarse y tomar acciones que permitan lidiar de mejor manera, y aún evitar, los problemas derivados del trabajo científico y tecnológico.

The collection addresses topics including social networks, public opinion, fake news and information warfare; digitalisation and datafication of society and individuals; and transhumanism, super-intelligent machines and the technological singularity. Technology, Users and Uses aims to offer theoretical and practical guidelines and recommendations for regulators, developers, engineers and scientists, as well as for researchers, educators and scholars in the fields of technology and AI, philosophy and sociology.
Download or read book Thinking through Technology written by Carl Mitcham and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to think about technology philosophically? Why try? These are the issues that Carl Mitcham addresses in this work, a comprehensive, critical introduction to the philosophy of technology and a discussion of its sources and uses. Tracing the changing meaning of "technology" from ancient times to our own, Mitcham identifies the most important traditions of critical analysis of technology: the engineering approach, which assumes the centrality of technology in human life; and the humanities approach, which is concerned with its moral and cultural boundaries. Mitcham bridges these two traditions through an analysis of discussions of engineering design, of the distinction between tools and machines, and of engineering science itself. He looks at technology as it is experienced in everyday life—as material objects (from kitchenware to computers), as knowledge ( including recipes, rules, theories, and intuitive "know-how"), as activity (design, construction, and use), and as volition (knowing how to use technology and understanding its consequences). By elucidating these multiple aspects, Mitcham establishes criteria for a more comprehensive analysis of ethical issues in applications of science and technology. This book will guide anyone wanting to reflect on technology and its moral implications.
Download or read book Philosophers in the Technological Age written by Ulrich Richter Morales and published by Océano. This book was released on 2023-04-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek philosophers built great discussions about reality, which are still current in our times and still inspire today's great thinkers. From mathematical teachings by Pythagoras, encompassing Plato's and Aristotle's ideas, these great discussions have been essential for our present intelectual development. Today, however, this role has been adopted by a new class of visionaries. Brought together by this new Platonic Academy based in Stanford University; devoted to proving and making use of the supremacy of numbers and mathematics in the digital world; intent on finding the new Holy Grail embodied in the perfect algorithm, present time's entrepreneurs of new technologies have radically transformed, for good or otherwise, the world as we know it. Ulrich Richter Morales delves deep into the legacy – sometimes clear, sometimes mystical and esoteric – of the Pythagoreans in their diverse historical incarnations. He particularly emphasizes their dominant role in these digital times, while he introduces a debate regarding the sort of machines we ought to develop. Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, among others, are declared heirs of the Mathematician from Samos and, always engrossed in polemic discussions, they are inseparable from our concept of how the world works. Getting to know them as persons and as thinkers is a way to better understand modern day life and our role as citizens, in the unstable, volatile grounds we tread on today.
Download or read book Science Technology and Society written by Wenceslao J. González and published by Netbiblo. This book was released on 2005 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emphasis on the realm of Science, Technology and Society or Science and Technology Studies may have the same degree of relevance that the “historical turn” had in the past. It is a “social turn” which affects philosophy of science as well as philosophy of technology. It includes a new vision of the aims, processes and results of scientific activities and technological doings, because the focus of attention is on several aspects of science and technology which used to be considered as secondary, or even irrelevant. This turn highlights science and technology as social undertakings rather than intellectual contents. According to this new vision, there are several important changes as to what should be studied the objects of research, how it should be studied the method and what the consequences for those studies are. The new focus of attention can be seen in many changes, and among them are several of special interest: a) from what science and technology are in themselves (mainly, epistemic contents) to how science and technology are made (largely, social constructions); b) from the language and structure of basic science to the characteristics of applied science and the applications of science; c) from technology as a feature through which human beings control their natural surroundings (a step beyond “technics” due to the contribution of science) to technology as a social practice and an instrument of power; and d) from the role of internal values necessary for “mature science” and “innovative technology” to the role of contextual or external values (cultural, political, economic ...) of science and technology. Wenceslao J. Gonzalez is professor of logic and philosophy of science at the University of A Coruña (Spain). He has been vicedean of the School of Humanities and president of the Committee of Doctoral Programs at the University. He has been a visting researcher at the Universities of St. Andrews, Münster and London (London School of Economics), as well as Visiting fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh. He has given lectures at the Universities of Pittsburgh, Stanford, Quebec and Helsinki. The conferences in which he has participated include those organized by the Universities of Uppsala, New South Wales, Bologne and Canterbury (New Zealand). He has edited 20 volumes and published 70 papers. He is the editor of the monographic issues on Philosophy and Methodology of Economics (1998) and Lakatos’s Philosophy Today (2001). His writings include “Economic Prediction and Human Activity. An Analysis of Prediction in Economics from Action Theory” (1994), “On the Theoretical Basis of Prediction in Economics” (1996), “Rationality in Economics and Scientific Predictions: A Critical Reconstruction of Bounded Rationality and its Role in Economic Predictions” (1997), “Lakatos’s Approach on Prediction and Novel Facts” (2001), “Rationality in Experimental Economics: An Analysis of R. Selten’s Approach” (2003), “From ErklärenVerstehen to PredictionUnderstanding: The Methodological Framework in Economics” (2003), and “The Many Faces of Popper’s Methodological Approach to Prediction” (2004).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume grew out of the experience of the First Inter-American Congress on Philosophy of Technology, October 1988, organized by the Center for the Philosophy and History of Science and Technology of the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagiiez. The Spanish-language proceedings of that conference have been published in Carl Mitcham and Margarita M. Peiia Borrero, with Elena Lugo and James Ward, eds., El nuevo mundo de la filosofta y la tecnolog(a (University Park, PA: STS Press, 1990). This volume contains thirty-two papers, twenty-two summaries, an introduction and biographical notes, to provide a full record of that seminal gathering. Discussions with Paul T. Durbin and others - including many who participated in the Second Inter-American Congress on Philosophy of Technology, University of Puerto Rico in Mayagiiez, March 199- raised the prospect of an English-language proceedings in the Philosophy and Technology series. But after due consideration it was agreed that a more general volume was needed to introduce English-speaking readers to a growing body of literature on the philosophy of technology in the Spanish-speaking world. As such, the present volume includes Spanish as well as Latin American authors, historical and contemporary figures, some who did and many who did not participate in the first and second inter-American congresses.
