Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. By reconsidering the theme of isolation in the philosophy of technology, and by drawing upon recent developments in social ontology, Lawson provides an account of technology that will be of interest and value to those working in a variety of different fields. Technology and Isolation includes chapters on the philosophy, history, sociology and economics of technology, and contributes to such diverse topics as the historical emergence of the term 'technology', the sociality of technology, the role of technology in social acceleration, the relationship between Marx and Heidegger, and the relationship between technology and those with autism. The central contribution of the book is to provide a new ontology of technology. In so doing, Lawson argues that much of the distinct character of technology can be explained or understood in terms of the dynamic that emerges from technology's peculiar constitutional mix of isolatable and non-isolatable components. This book combines recent developments in social ontology with classic ideas from the philosophy of technology. Individual chapters also contribute to a range of issues from the history, sociology, psychology and economics of technology. The overall aim of the book, however, is to propose a new ontology of technology that will be of interest throughout the humanities and social sciences. This item is printed on demand.
