I edited a special edition of the journal Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, taken over last year by new editor Willard McCarty, which was published in September 2008. On the topic Philosophy of Engineering, the edition comprised mostly articles from the 2007 Workshop on Philosophy of Engineering. Also included were some invited pieces and an extended editorial by me, called 'Should Engineers Think?' Click here to download a pdf of the full editorial. A version of this paper was presented at the University of Leeds' seminar series on engineering ethics.
The table of contents is here.

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.
