Process Philosophy and Technology

This volume introduces process philosophy as a new theoretical approach in philosophy of technology.
Process philosophy represents an alternative to long-dominant modes of theorizing in Western philosophy, which take reality to consist of stable, enduring entities. As a range of approaches which understand change and becoming as primary, process philosophy encourages a deep engagement with the temporality of the world around us. But what does this mean for the philosophy of technology? This volume addresses this question by highlighting the role and significance of process perspectives in the work of key figures in the philosophy of technology, while showcasing the work of philosophers of technology who are currently developing new ways of theorizing the relationship between process philosophy and technology. By bringing together in one place contributions from leading experts on process philosophy and technology, this volume illustrates how transitioning from an ontology of things to processes promises to enrich our understanding of technology at a variety of different levels, from artifacts to socio-technical systems.
Process Philosophy and Technology will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in philosophy of technology, philosophy of science, and science and technology studies.
