Pressestimmen
"This is far and away the most useful and comprehensive anthology on the subject to date. It considerably broadens the scope of the philosophy of technology, and the sophistication with which its areas can be approached. This book is an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to understand the nature and impact of modern technology – which is to say, for anyone who wants to understand the contemporary world." Robert P. Crease, State University of New York at Stony Brook <!--end-->
"Philosophy of Technology: the technological condition offers a balanced survey of the main currents in the history of philosophy of technology..." Metapsychology Online Book Reviews
Kurzbeschreibung
This anthology brings together, for the first time, a collection of both seminal historical and contemporary essays on the nature of technology and its relation to humanity. Its selections not only situate technology in the familiar context of ethical, political, aesthetic, and engineering concerns, but also thoroughly examine historical, metaphysical, and epistemological issues.The volume begins with historical readings on knowledge and its applications that have laid the foundation for contemporary writings on the philosophy of technology. Contemporary essays then critically assess previous assumptions about science and discuss the relation between science and technology and philosophy's treatment of both. The second half of the volume focuses on Heidegger's writings on technology, on the relationship between technology and the natural world, and on the issues that arise as technology becomes an integral part of our society. Philosophy of Technology includes, beyond the commonly anthologized figures, selections from European writers often not available in English-language collections. It is a valuable resource for anyone who wishes to explore the technological condition.

Good Reference Book, but Best for Browsing
19. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I am sad to say so, but I'm sure that the market for this book is sparse, especially outside the classroom. The only competitive anthology is Kaplan's, which is also available on Amazon. However, the two books have different purposes. Where Kaplan's 'Readings in the Philosophy of Technology" spends most of its time on thinkers from the latter-half of the 20th and early 21st centuries, Dussek's "technological Condition" is oriented more directly toward the classics of the genre (Kaplan's book does not include Jacques Ellul!).
As an anthology, this is not going to suffice as a primary source. However, it would be the text for a course on the subject. With that in mind, note that this volume is not ordered chronologically. Otherwise, this is a great book to keep around for a pre-nap read, or for cues to further, deeper readings within the full work sampled here.
I see no reason not to give this 5 stars.

Incredible Anthology
19. Dezember 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This volume represents an incredible collection of essays from an array of important authors about the philosophy of technology. Reviewing the table of contents alone will make the impression.
Unlike other anthologies, this volume has decent margins and is printed on solid paper stock. If you like marking your texts or putting notes in the sidebar, there is enough room to do so, and the leakage between pages is minimal. Additionally, I found the volume to be solidly bound; for research & reading when you're constantly opening & closing the book, this is critical.
Additionally, almost every selection has a useful bibliography, thus this is a great introductory volume. The introductions to each section/theme are also well done. If I could edit or assemble a collection, I would want it to be this good.

Are you kidding? The book is an encapsulation not only of philosophical thought on technology but also its history and growth. I miss the lack of the asian/eastern/oriental/many-other-categories perspective, but thats the reality of the written english word. Isn't it?
