Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Diseño de ingenierÃa FilosofÃa de la tecnologÃa Ciencia FilosofÃa TecnologÃa Enseñanza de las ciencias Clasificación: 601 Resumen: Este volumen, resultado de un esfuerzo continuo de construcción de puentes entre ingenieros y humanistas, aborda una variedad de cuestiones filosóficas, éticas y polÃticas que emanan de la ingenierÃa y la tecnologÃa. Entrelazados a lo largo de sus capÃtulos hay dos temas, a menudo en tensión entre sÃ: "Explorando lÃmites" y "Expandiendo conexiones". "Expanding Connections" destaca las contribuciones que buscan en la filosofÃa una idea de algunos de los desafÃos que enfrentan los ingenieros al trabajar con formuladores de polÃticas, diseñadores no profesionales y otros miembros del público. También habla de las reflexiones incluidas en este volumen sobre las conexiones entre hecho y valor, razón y emoción, práctica de la ingenierÃa y el bien social y, por supuesto, entre ingenierÃa y filosofÃa. "Exploring Boundaries" destaca contribuciones que se centran en algún tipo de demarcación. Las polÃticas públicas establecen un lÃmite entre lo que está regulado y lo que no lo está, las disciplinas académicas se delimitan por sus temas y métodos de investigación, y las profesiones abordan los problemas con objetivos únicos y utilizando conceptos y lenguaje de maneras particulares que crean obstáculos potenciales a la colaboración con otros. campos. Estas y otras formas de establecimiento de lÃmites también se abordan en este volumen. Los colaboradores exploran estos dos temas en una variedad de contextos especÃficos, incluida la epistemologÃa de la ingenierÃa, las responsabilidades sociales de los ingenieros, la ingenierÃa y la formulación de polÃticas públicas, la innovación en ingenierÃa y las dimensiones afectivas del trabajo de ingenierÃa. El libro también incluye análisis de cuestiones sociales y éticas con tecnologÃas emergentes como la impresión 3D y su uso en aplicaciones médicas, asà como robots sociales. Las versiones iniciales de los artÃculos invitados incluidos en este libro se presentaron por primera vez en la reunión de 2014 del Foro sobre FilosofÃa, IngenierÃa y TecnologÃa (fPET), celebrada en Virginia Tech en Blacksburg, Virginia, EE. UU. El volumen promueve la intención del PET de ampliar y desarrollar la filosofÃa de la ingenierÃa como campo académico y fomentar la conversación, promover un sentido de empresa compartida y construir una comunidad entre filósofos e ingenieros de una diversidad de orÃgenes culturales y enfoques de investigación.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This volume, the result of an ongoing bridge building effort among engineers and humanists, addresses a variety of philosophical, ethical, and policy issues emanating from engineering and technology. Interwoven through its chapters are two themes, often held in tension with one another: "Exploring Boundaries" and "Expanding Connections." "Expanding Connections" highlights contributions that look to philosophy for insight into some of the challenges engineers face in working with policy makers, lay designers, and other members of the public. It also speaks to reflections included in this volume on the connections between fact and value, reason and emotion, engineering practice and the social good, and, of course, between engineering and philosophy. "Exploring Boundaries" highlights contributions that focus on some type of demarcation. Public policy sets a boundary between what is regulated from what is not, academic disciplines delimit themselves by their subjects and methods of inquiry, and professions approach problems with unique goals and by using concepts and language in particular ways that create potential obstacles to collaboration with other fields. These and other forms of boundary setting are also addressed in this volume. Contributors explore these two themes in a variety of specific contexts, including engineering epistemology, engineers' social responsibilities, engineering and public policy-making, engineering innovation, and the affective dimensions of engineering work. The book also includes analyses of social and ethical issues with emerging technologies such as 3-D printing and its use in medical applications, as well as social robots. Initial versions of the invited papers included in this book were first presented at the 2014 meeting of the Forum on Philosophy, Engineering, and Technology (fPET), held at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. The volume furthersfPET's intent of extending and developing the philosophy of engineering as an academic field, and encouraging conversation, promoting a sense of shared enterprise, and building community among philosophers and engineers across a diversity of cultural backgrounds and approaches to inquiry.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: TecnologÃa Diseño de ingenierÃa FilosofÃa de la tecnologÃa Clasificación: 601 Resumen: Este volumen coeditado compara las experiencias chinas y occidentales en ingenierÃa, tecnologÃa y desarrollo. Al hacerlo, construye un puente entre Oriente y Occidente y promueve un diálogo en la filosofÃa de la ingenierÃa. Dividido en tres partes, el libro comienza con estudios sobre cuestiones epistemológicas y ontológicas, con especial atención al diseño de ingenierÃa, la creatividad, la gestión, la viabilidad y la sostenibilidad. La Parte II considera las relaciones entre la historia y la filosofÃa de la ingenierÃa e incluye un argumento general sobre la necesidad de un diálogo entre la historia y la filosofÃa. Continúa con una introducción general a las actitudes tradicionales chinas hacia la ingenierÃa y la tecnologÃa, y estudios de casos filosóficos de la industria siderúrgica, los ferrocarriles y la cibernética chinos en la Unión Soviética. La Parte III se centra en la ingenierÃa, la ética y la sociedad, con capÃtulos sobre la educación y la práctica de la ingenierÃa en China y Occidente. Los análisis del libro de las interacciones de la ciencia, la ingenierÃa, la ética, la polÃtica y las polÃticas en diferentes contextos sociales son de especial interés. El volumen en su conjunto marca una nueva etapa en el surgimiento de la filosofÃa de la ingenierÃa como una nueva regionalización de la filosofÃa. Este volumen interdisciplinario cuidadosamente editado surgió de una conferencia internacional sobre filosofÃa de la ingenierÃa organizada por la Universidad de la Academia China de Ciencias en Beijing. Incluye 30 contribuciones de destacados filósofos, cientÃficos sociales e ingenieros de Australia, China, Europa y Estados Unidos. Nota de contenido: Chapter 1.

Humanities Perspectives on Science, Technology, and Engineering in China (LIU Dachun (in discussion with Carl MITCHAM and ZHAO Junhai). Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This co-edited volume compares Chinese and Western experiences of engineering, technology, and development. In doing so, it builds a bridge between the East and West and advances a dialogue in the philosophy of engineering. Divided into three parts, the book starts with studies on epistemological and ontological issues, with a special focus on engineering design, creativity, management, feasibility, and sustainability. Part II considers relationships between the history and philosophy of engineering, and includes a general argument for the necessity of dialogue between history and philosophy. It continues with a general introduction to traditional Chinese attitudes toward engineering and technology, and philosophical case studies of the Chinese steel industry, railroads, and cybernetics in the Soviet Union. Part III focuses on engineering, ethics, and society, with chapters on engineering education and practice in China and the West. The book's analyses of the interactions of science,engineering, ethics, politics, and policy in different societal contexts are of special interest. The volume as a whole marks a new stage in the emergence of the philosophy of engineering as a new regionalization of philosophy. This carefully edited interdisciplinary volume grew out of an international conference on the philosophy of engineering hosted by the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. It includes 30 contributions by leading philosophers, social scientists, and engineers from Australia, China, Europe, and the United States.
