Review Quotes: "Design Philosophy after the Technology Turn is a collection of essays that should spark debate. Without question the condition of 'turn' is not just a recognition of the changing relation between design philosophy and technology but it's also one of the markers of wider epochal transformations now underway. There has always been a recursive relation between design, technology and our 'species being, ' and the collection makes this clear in a variety of ways. It also shows how philosophy has sought to understand, and be part of, the dynamic tension of the design/technology relationship. Likewise, this collection indicates why gaining an understanding of the relation is important, and why it has to be an ongoing process-especially in the current conditions of increasingly critical enviro-climatic and geopolitical change." --Tony Fry, Adjunct Professor of Architecture and Design, University of Tasmania, Australia
