A Masterpiece in the Philosophy of Technology,
By Louis F. Howe, Jr. (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Technology (Hardcover)
Anyone who is interested in the Philosophy of Technology would find this book to be a perfect fit for their personal library. I found that the articles contained in this volume covered a wide range of classical and modern issues in Metaphysics and Epistemology. After reading the majority of articles in this volume, I will definitely look to invest in previous volumes as well. As a graduate student in philosophy in hopes of making philosophy my career, this book has proved to be very rewarding in increasing my knowledge of the issues concerned with the Philosophy of Technology.
