Filosofia da tecnologia: um convite
A filosofia da tecnologia, embora antiga como assunto de reflexão de alguns pensadores isolados, é recente como disciplina acadêmica. Quem nela se introduz descobre uma realidade bem maior do que a sugerida pela costumeira associação da tecnologia com engenharia, porque a tecnologia nos afeta e desafia, qualquer que seja nossa atividade. Descobre também que se trata de uma realidade que pode (e deve) ser tematizada pelas áreas tradicionais da filosofia, pois encerra questões tanto ontológicas quanto epistemológicas, tanto éticas quanto estéticas, tanto relativas à filosofia política quanto referentes à filosofia da história. No Brasil, a filosofia da tecnologia ainda não desperta o interesse que merece, sobretudo nos estudantes de filosofia; este livro aspira a divulgá-la.

3.5/5 stars, rounded up for its conciseness.
A good overview of philosophical technology about technology,
presenting the key issues through the analysis of the work of
some authors --- among them Heidegger, Simondon, Bunge, Ihde, Dreyfus, Feenberg and Winner.
I really enjoyed most of the book's sections,
even if the chapter on culture felt a bit too short.
Still, I am somewhat bothered by what the book *does not* cover:
it has no treatment of feminist or critical race perspectives on technology,
and, despite some discussions in the context of the works of Mario Bunge and Hubert Dreyfus,
does not fully engage the impact of the information and communication technologies,
focusing on the material technological artifacts and their impacts.
Despite those shortcomings, the book is a fine starting point who either had no contact
with the philosophy of technology or, coming from the studies of a specific theme,
want an overview of the general debates in the field.
