Technology and Isolation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book combines recent developments in social ontology with classic ideas from the philosophy of technology. Individual chapters also contribute to a range of issues from the history, sociology, psychology and economics of technology. The overall aim of the book, however, is to propose a new ontology of technology that will be of interest throughout the humanities and social sciences.
