Research Programme, The History of the Philosophy of Technology Working
Group at Maastricht University is happy to present the program for its
first conference on the History of the Philosophy of Technology.

We define the philosophy of technology as a wide-ranging and comprehensive
field of study that includes the philosophical study of particular
technologies and the different ways that technology, more broadly, has been
considered philosophically. We encourage and promote work that explores
these aspects historically, expanding established narratives by mapping
interactions between technology and philosophy across different epochs and
cultures.
