Through a collection of essays, this open access book brings together perspectives on philosophy of technology and design. Taking stock of recent changes in technology - including recently emerging digital tools like AI - the authors look to expand the discussions that draw upon both design philosophy and technological developments. The editors of the book argue that we are already a long way from the conventional interpretation of design philosophy as a `philosophy of design', where philosophers remained distant from the practice of design itself. They maintain that designers must welcome cross-fertilisations between disciplines that make possible alternative interpretations of design philosophy, for example, as `a designerly way of doing philosophy' or as `designing things philosophically', perhaps even as `the design of philosophy'. The book is structured in two parts: the first comprises chapters that address foundational issues arising at the crossroads of philosophy and design; the second addresses chapters that address special topics, including AI and democracy, fashion design, professional ethics, and climate engineering. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the TU Delft Open Access Fund.Binding: Hardback
