The Research-Education Nexus of the Philosophy of Technology: A Research-Education-Industry Roadmap for De-marginalization of the Field
Gui Hong Cao
Abstract
For the philosophy of technology to achieve a bright future, it is necessary to de-marginalize and advance the
related research and education. Using qualitative text mining, online surveys, observational studies, discussions
and communications, comparison and contrast for research and pedagogy, this paper analyzes the similarities
and differences, relationships, and interactions between research and education on this field. As a result,
similarities and dissimilarities vary in the research and education on the philosophy of technology. This article
initiates an original framework for the interaction of research and education on the philosophy of technology.
This paper argues for a sustainable research-education-industry roadmap to de-marginalize and advance the
philosophy of technology. Furthermore, this paper proposes three workable approaches of research-led,
education-oriented, and application-transformation for endogenous and exogenous growths. Finally, this article
advocates shifting the philosophy of technology from the anti-technology tradition to a pro-technology direction
by learning by design.
