Subject: special issue on Borgmann online
Dear Humanists:
Those of you interested in philosophy of technology as a framework for
thinking about humanities computing may find the recent special issue of
_Techne: Journal of the Society for Philosophy and Technology_
of value:
http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/SPT/v6n1/
The special issue is devoted to Albert Borgmann's 1999 _Holding on to
Reality: : The Nature of Information at the Turn of the Millennium_, which I
think of a one of the two or three most important books around on IT from a
philosophy of technology perspective.
Borgmann replies to the essays, which makes for a very interesting read
indeed.
enjoy!
