Abstract

The SPT 2011 meeting
Walking around the University of North Texas (UNT) campus at noon in late May can be a very solitary experience. The academic semester is over and no students are around, the air is immobile under the burning sun and the university buildings seem abandoned. The atmosphere changes when one walks into the Environmental Education Science and Technology Building: a structure with a high ceiling and naturally lighted, which is the location of the department of Philosophy and Religion Studies, host this year of the 17th International Conference of the Society for Philosophy and Technology. Scholars from all over the world gathered there to attend this biennial conference, presented as “the leading international event devoted to the philosophical examination of technology.”
