<div><p>This volume features 16 essays on the philosophy of technology that discuss its identity, its position in philosophy in general, and the role of empirical studies in philosophical analyses of engineering ethics and engineering practices.&nbsp;</p><p>This volume is published about fifteen years after Peter Kroes and Anthonie Meijers published a collection of papers under the title The empirical turn in the philosophy of technology, in which they called for a reorientation toward the practice of engineering, and sketched the likely benefits for philosophy of technology of pursuing its major questions in an empirically informed way.<br></p><p>The essays in this volume fall apart in two different kinds. One kind follows up on The empirical turn discussion about what the philosophy of technology is all about. It continues the search for the identity of the philosophy of technology by asking what comes after the empirical turn. The other kind of essays follows the call for an empirical turn in the philosophy of technology by showing how it may be realized with regard to particular topics. Together these essays offer the reader an overview of the state of the art of an empirically informed philosophy of technology and of various views on the empirical turn as a stepping stone into the future of the philosophy of technology.<br></p></div><div><br></div>

<p>Maarten Franssen is
associate professor at the Section of Philosophy at Delft University of
Technology. His research interests include the relation between philosophy of
technology and philosophy of science, the nature of normativity in relation to
artefacts and their use, the metaphysics of artefacts, the analysis of
technology as concerned with instrumental and sociotechnical systems, and the
analysis of design as decision-making and its problems.</p>

<p>Pieter Vermaas is
associate professor at the Department of Philosophy at Delft University of
