{"product_id":"technical-things-von-pasi-pohjola","title":"Technical Things","description":"\u003cp\u003eHuman history is partially a history of technological development.  Many steps in the cultural and intellectual development of human  societies include development of new kinds of technology and  technical artefacts. For example the development of printing  technology expanded the possibility of distributing knowledge into  new dimensions. Understanding the fundamental structures and  mechanisms of technology and technological development is one of  the central interest of philosophy of technology. Although recently  there is a growing interest in research on philosophy of technology,  social perspectives and the questions of social ontology of  technology are undermined in these investigations. The aim of this  book is to investigate the philosophy of technical things and discuss  the subject from two relevant perspectives: Technical things as  physical or material objects and technical things as social or cultural  things. Moreover the book aims at explicating an ontological  account of technical things that integrates these two perspectives  together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838321134\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn essay on the social constitution of technical artefacts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838321134","offer_id":39499063787613,"sku":"9783838321134","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/9ceca712-f719-417a-85ab-43c20d1ca0b4.jpg?v=1759296641","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/technical-things-von-pasi-pohjola","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
