What Use is Philosophy of Engineering?

The December 2007 Issue of Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (volume 32, number 4) includes a paper by me about The Royal Academy of Engineering's seminar series on philosophy of engineering. The paper, 'What Use is Philosophy of Engineering?' reviews the themes that were developed in the seminars, and argues that philosophy of engineering can bring new perspectives to existing philosophical problems. These problems fall into the areas of epistemology, philosophy of mind, and theories of meaning. The abstract is online here: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/maney/isr/2007/00000032/00000004/art00003

A full version of the paper will be on this site soon.
