Editor's Foreword
Indiana University Press is proud to launch the Indiana Series in the Philosophy of Technology with the following trio: John Dewey's Pragmatic Technology, by Larry A. Hickman; Technology and the Lifeworld: From Garden to Earth, by Don Ihde; and Heidegger's Confrontation with Modernity: Technology, Politics, Art, by Michael Zimmerman.
The Indiana Series is the first North American series explicitly dedicated to the philosophy of technology. (There are other series relating philosophy and technology, particularly those that collect interdisciplinary articles, but none of these has been devoted to the development of a new subdiscipline within philosophy.) Broadly conceived, it nevertheless will address a wide variety of issues relating to technology from distinctly philosophical perspectives. Philosophically, our approach will be pluralistic, and this is evidenced in our first round of books. The traditions of both American pragmatism and Euro-American trends are evidenced.
Our trio is timely. We begin with radical reappraisals and interpretations of the two early twentieth-century philosophers who made questions of technology central to their thought: John Dewey and Martin Heidegger. And we are also beginning with a systematic reformulation of a framework and set of questions regarding technology in its cultural setting in Technology and the Lifeworld. Later we will be adding topics of a more thematic nature, including books on "Engineering Birth," "Big Instrument Science," "Media and Rationality," "Technological Transformations of Perception," and many others.
