Handling technical Power
Philosophy of Technology
Bernhard Irrgang develops a phenomenology and hermeneutics of technical handling, which he understands as a method of analyzing and interpreting framing questions regarding hypermodern technological civilizations.
Archetypes, models, designs and concepts of technical and non-technical kinds, embedded into culture and economics have to be examined with respect to the interpretation of models and images, which guide their handling.
"Irrgang's arguments are important, provocative, positive and critical. [...] There is probably no other single book in the philosophy of technology which assimilates and merges smoothly so many divergent perspectives all at once."
