Postscript
Philosophy of technology, as its name indicates, can be understood as philosophy concerning technology or a view of technological issues from the philosophical perspective. Engineering and technological workers and philosophical researchers will inevitably meet with issues of philosophy of technology and need some knowledge of the subject.
It has been long since I wanted to write a book with such titles as A General Course of Philosophy of Technology, or Philosophy for Engineers. Beginning with “A Brief Exploration of Studies of Philosophy of Technology” written in 1983, up to 1996, I had published more than 30 articles on philosophy of technology. During the period, the idea of writing such a book had never been out of my mind. However, I was hesitant to start because of the feeling that I was not fully prepared. I was determined to start the writing at the beginning of last fall term mainly because I was approaching 65, which prompted me not to be satisfied with mere preparation any longer. Anyway, it was time for me to consider leaving my students with some material for reference. The title of the book An Introduction to Philosophy of Technology somehow can be seen as implying insufficient preparation for a more thorough and profound monograph.
Some people believe that being comprehensive but superficial is more undesirable than being incomplete but incisive, which I totally approve of. Unfortunately, this book will no doubt appear superficial, not only because philosophy of technology is still in its infancy, but also because my experience, knowledge and ability bring about three disadvantages: the first is my lack of personal engineering experience and a thorough understanding of agricultural or medical technologies, especially high technology, even though I have studied and worked in an engineering oriented university for more than 40 years; the second is my long term work and life at a locality far from the national academic center of philosophy with few contacts with philosophical experts and literature, which results in my philosophy being rustic even though I once studied in a postgraduate program of philosophy and engaged in teaching philosophy in Renmin University of China; the third is my lack of in-depth study of theories of the discipline of foreign experts even though I have been trying to be less rustic and to keep in touch with the foreign academic trend in this area and I have even looked up foreign literature in philosophy of technology and made inquiries into several monographs and collected works during my half-year visit to my relatives in the United States.
This book is not supposed to be deep from the academic perspective. On the other hand, it should meet the standard of an academic monograph and may be consulted by researchers of philosophy of technology. At least no Chinese have ever written a book containing “philosophy of technology” in its title. It tries to arouse a stable interest of engineering and technical workers and management staff in philosophy of technology. In my view, this book can be regarded as “engineers’ philosophy of technology”.
Philosophy of technology puts forward more questions than it solves, which reflects both immaturity and vitality of the discipline. This book should be considered as statements of a school of thought because I desire to express my own opinions in it, which may make it appear one-sided. Maybe by doing so, it fits its name as an “introduction”.
As an introduction to philosophy of technology, the book should have taken the difficult task of constructing the theoretical system of the discipline. As can be seen from the arrangement of its chapters and sections, this book adopts a framework pervasive in studies of natural dialectics in China, which emphasizes adequate discussion and analysis of the basic elements of a system before work on their interrelationships. In addition, it is closer to “engineering philosophy of technology” than to “humanistic philosophy of technology”.
The first four chapters are general discussion of the object, history and basic issues of philosophy of technology; the fifth to the eighth chapters discuss basic characteristics of technology; the ninth to the eleventh chapters focus on the relationship between technology and society; the twelfth chapter can be considered as the conclusion.
As the preface, some remarks about writing and editing are suitable. References are listed at the end of each chapter, which are not many but in need of a few explanatory words. First, those which the texts actually quote are naturally part of references; second, references are not limited to the chapter at the end of which it is listed but should be viewed as references of the whole book. They are attached to individual chapters only because of the focuses of their content; third, some of my works are listed as references without being actually mentioned in the writing for two purposes: one is to show that ideas in the book are not whims from nowhere but have their roots and historical development; the other is to prove that these ideas are new instead of duplications of what have already been said.
