Almost new journal: Philosophy & Technology

Since about a year back there is a new journal devoted to the field of philosophy of technology. It is called "Philosophy & Technology" and is published by Springer. This is really a good sign and hopefully it might lead to more outlets for work in this area. Another place where it was possible to find philosophy of technology articles--Techne-- has moved and I just got this information from the journal.

"Techne: Research in Philosophy and Technology is indeed still publishing and remains the official journal of the Society for Philosophy and Technology (SPT). It has been moved from the publisher Ejournals to the Philosophy Documentation Center.

"

So, now there are two journal in the field that publishes high quality papers on philosophy in technology. Looking forward to many exiting readings in this new journal. I have already found some exciting articles by for instance Borgmann and another by Vaccari.

Techne: Research in Philosophy and Technology is indeed still publishing and remains the official journal of the Society for Philosophy and Technology (SPT). It has been moved from the publisher Ejournals to the Philosophy Documentation Center.

Ejournals still has all the old content for open access in HTML format, but newer issues are available only through the PDC (old issue PDFs are also available). SPT membership or university subscription can allow you to access the new content of Techne.

If you have any questions about content or access, please feel free to email me at technejournal@gmail.com.

Philosophy & Technology doesn't seem to be a new journal. They are on volume 25 now. I believe the journal has just been renamed. It was formerly entitled "Knowledge, Technology, and Policy".
