In doing so it builds a bridge between the East and West and advances a dialogue in the philosophy of engineering. Divided into three parts the book starts with studies on epistemological and ontological issues with a special focus on engineering design creativity management feasibility and sustainability. Part II considers relationships between the history and philosophy of engineering and includes a general argument for the necessity of dialogue between history and philosophy. It continues with a general introduction to traditional Chinese attitudes toward engineering and technology and philosophical case studies of the Chinese steel industry railroads and cybernetics in the Soviet Union. Part III focuses on engineering ethics and society with chapters on engineering education and practice in China and the West.
