Philosophy of technology as empirical philosophy

comparing technological scales in practice

Casper Bruun Jensen

pp. 292-314

Abstrakt

Most everyday practices make use of, or try to create, scales to measure or contrast ‘goods’ and ‘bads’. This opens a space for an empirical philosophy. An ethnographic interest in practice can be combined with a philosophical concern with ‘the good’ to explore which ‘good/bad’ scale is being enacted, and how this is being done. (Law and Mol, 2002, p. 85)
