Description
Bernhard Irrgang develops a phenomenology and hermeneutics of technical handling, which he understands as a method of analyzing and interpreting framing questions regarding hypermodern technological civilizations.
Archetypes, models, designs and concepts of technical and non-technical kinds, embedded into culture and economics have to be examined with respect to the interpretation of models and images, which guide their handling.
Reviews / Votes
"Irrgang's arguments are important, provocative, positive and critical. [...] There is probably no other single book in the philosophy of technology which assimilates and merges smoothly so many divergent perspectives all at once."More details
