Philosophy of Technology

Philosophical discussion of questions concerning technology dates back to the very start of Western school of thought. The phrase “philosophy of technology” was used in the late 19th millennium by German-born philosopher and geographer Ernst Kapp, that published a publication titled “Grundlinien einer Philosophie der Technik”. The philosophy of technology is often a philosophical field committed to studying the dynamics of technology and its particular social effects.
