Albert Borgmann on the philosophy of technology Luminary

Albert Borgmann is a philosopher and writer whose research interests intersect technology, society, and culture. Albert’s theory, the device paradigm, and his book “Technology and the Character of Contemporary Life” are foundational contributions to the philosophy of technology.



Our conversation with Albert focuses on the philosophy of technology: What does philosophy of technology even mean and why is it relevant? Why does technology obscure, abstract, and conceal? We cover these questions as well as: Albert’s theory of technology: the device paradigm, minimalism, the human condition, and the perils and promises of technology.
