The purpose of this research is to introduce Langdon Winner's views on technology and to evaluate his theory in terms of the future direction of philosophy of technology. First, an attempt to situate Winner's idea in the history of philosophy of technology will be made. Second, details of Winner's position concerning technology will be demonstrated. His understanding of technology, diagnosis of modern technological society, evaluation of contemporary philosophical discourse on technology, and his own suggestion for overcoming problems of the technological society will be presented respectively. Third, Winner's philosophy of technology will be evaluated. The reflective examination of philosophical theories and concepts, recognition of the practical task of philosophy of technology as an applied philosophy, and the attempt to communicate and involve the public will be suggested as the merits of Winner's philosophy, as well as the future direction that philosophy of technology should take.

Throughout its short history, the discourses of philosophy of technology has been centered around two issues, namely the recovery of human autonomy in technological society and the pursuit of sustainable development. Following the basic subject matters of the discipline, this article suggests to examine the possibility of the 'ethical engineering design,' meaning that ethical consideration should be included in engineering design. This proposal is based on the critique that philosophy of technology has so far focused on the external approach to the problem of technology, neglecting the active role of engineers. By paying attention to engineering design, however, philosophy of technology can offer a more realistic solution for the problems of the technological society. The first section shows the context of the current discussion by surveying the brief history of philosophy of technology. The thesis of engineering design in philosophy of technology will be presented in the second section, together with supporting reasons. The third section will examine theories and efforts that raised the issue of engineering design in the past. They have been suggested in different contexts, but when put together, they can be used for the justification of the current proposal. The fourth section will deal with the possible critiques of this proposal, which will be followed by suggestions for engineers themselves.

본 논문은 Google Dialogflow 챗봇 개발 플랫폼으로 『논어』의 메시지를 현대화한 고민상담 챗봇을 제안한다. Dialogflow 챗봇 개발 플랫폼은 사전에 설계된 대화 아키텍처에 따라 응답을 제시한다. 즉, 질문의 의도가 파악되면 별도의 문장생성 없이 사전에 입력된 시나리오가 출력되기 때문에 고전 텍스트의 낯선 어투와 함축성의 허들을 극복할 수 있다. '챗봇'을 매체로 선정한 주된 이유는 쌍방향성 때문이다. 사용자는 챗봇을 통해 원하는 내용을 주체적이고 선별적으로 학습할 수 있다. 본 연구는 인문학적 문화원형과 공학 분야의 기술을 접목한 융복합 서비스 모델을 제시한다. 이를 통해 『논어』의 메시지를 젊은 세대에게 친숙하게 전달함으로써 세대 간 문화적 공통성을 마련할 수 있다.

It has been a point of dispute how to define the disciplinary identity of STS; science and technology studies or science, technology and society? Still, STS is now emerging as an autonomous research discipline with its own agendas and styles of reasoning from a mere collections of various meta disciplines such as philosophy of science, history of science and sociology of science. The paper discusses how philosophy of science in its cross-disciplineary mode can contribute to STS (understood as science and technology studies) research given these recent academic trends. We can start from the observation that there are two distinctive ways of doing cross-disciplinary research: inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary. Then it is shown with concrete examples how philosophy of science can productively participate in both ways of cross-disciplinary researches in STS.

This study was conducted to derive a management technology model based on the new management framework established in previous studies. The management technology sector, which occupies most of the existing business administration, is defined as a technical division in new management. In this study, the theory of management technology based on the service philosophy of the service economy era was presented. The structure of new business, which is the basis of new management technology, is presented first, the service philosophy of the service economy era where management is performed, and then the management technology model based on service philosophy is presented. The management technology model was derived on the basis of immutable axioms. After presenting new management axioms based on common human ideology and nature and human nature, a management technology model was presented based on axioms. On the basis of the axioms, a new dialectical development model was developed as a model for the dialectical development that maintains a tight balance and a fierce interaction between two opposing parties based on the structure and operation model of service philosophy. In addition to the overall organizational management model, a management function model and a management expansion model were presented. Each detailed technique is presented as a model for dialectical development of opposing confrontations. Management technology is a dynamic technology that is constantly changing, and is an overall technology that takes into account various situations and viewpoints. This study has significance as a basic study to overcome the limitations of the existing static management technology and develop dynamic management technology. Future research requires empirical analytical studies on new management technology models.

This paper suggests teaching philosophy of technology in engineering ethics class, as a realistic solution for convergence education of engineering and humanities. First, the need for convergence between engineering and humanities are presented, which is followed by the analysis of the current convergence education in Korea, especially since the introduction of the ABEEK. Third, the proposal for teaching philosophy of technology in engineering ethics will be presented, together with the expected effect of such a trial. Finally, the actual implementation of this curricula will be introduced. In 2008 and 2009, the engineering ethics course in Handong Global University adopted this proposal. The evaluation of students will be examined, which indicates the direction that the convergence of engineering and humanities should take.

A new paradigm of technology, based on an interaction o( machines, humans and the environment through korperlichkeit(corporeality or philosophy of Mom), is explored. The issue of interactivity in contemporary art plays a key role in the investigation of interactive technology. An interactive system is proposed and implemented to explore the Proposed interactive technology Paradigm. Also, recent collaborations by ASTA(Arts, Sciences St Technology in Asia), an interdisciplinary project team of artists and engineers, are introduced to demonstrate these explorations.

The standards of valuation for technology and business are announced on December of 2000, by a Committee for the Standards of Valuation for Technology and Business led by the author. This is a first effort to set up a social standards of valuation in Korea. Hence, this paper will chase the background philosophy and structure of the standards, and its relationship with international and american standards. The standards of valuation is a product of social agreement, not a bundle of knowledge of professional experts.

A new paradigm of technology, based on the overall interactions of technology, humans and environment through Korperlichkeit(corporeality or philosophy of Mom), is explored. Parallelism based on holism and embodiment, and relative interactions based on correspondence and interrelationships, are the key ideas in the proposed paradigm. Biological information processing systems much resemble the key ideas of interactive technology. Robots could be easily implemented from this evolutionary engineering approach.

Continuous Improvement is a central concept in the quality movement. In almost all descriptions of quality initiatives Continuous Improvement is central. Even in ISO 9000:2000 that has been recognised. In this paper we will discuss the role of continuous Improvement within the quality movement, its relation to knowledge management and, especially, its origin in pragmatic philosophy.
