N2 - In this paper we explore how the collaboration between Design Research and Philosophy of technology can be profitable for both disciplines. T1 - Philosophy of Technology x Design: The Practical Turn Therefore, in analogy with the empirical turn in Philosophy of Technology before, we present this collaboration with design as the. Not only Philosophy of Technology with the head, but also Philosophy of Technology with the hands. One can say that the Philosophy of Technology, besides thinking and talking, proceeds to action. In putting the in principle rather abstract theories in design practice, the consequences become more clear and designing actual things thus provides a laboratory to test philosophical frameworks in real life. Then we analyse the three cases again to show how these design projects also lead to a better understanding from a Philosophy of Technology perspective. From three case studies where Philosophy of Technology theories and methods were applied in a design context we show how these projects profited from a more reflexive perspective. Therefore, in analogy with the empirical turn in Philosophy of Technology before, we present this collaboration with design as the ‘Practical Turn in Philosophy of Technology’.Ībstract = 'In this paper we explore how the collaboration between Design Research and Philosophy of technology can be profitable for both disciplines.
