米切姆作为我国学术界最为熟悉的国际知名技术哲学家之一，他的关于马克思技术哲学思想的观点尤其得到国内学者的关注。出版《哲学与技术》、《通过技术思考》、《工程伦理》等著作，以把技术哲学划分为工程的和人文的两大类别而著称。 Carl Mitcham是美国技术哲学开拓者，当代最活跃的技术哲学学者之一。他从学理上倡导与推动技术哲学这一学科的确立，同时重点关注技术的伦理问题。

2. Climate Change as Philosophical Problem

Begins with a non-scientist’s general summary of the scientific consensus on climate change and a review the engagement of public activist scientists concerning the proper societal response. The summary will briefly reference some epistemological and ontological problems associated with climate change research. The last half, however, will emphasize ethical and political philosophical issues. The claim is that

climate change presents an historically unprecedented challenge to us as human beings, one that we are not yet adequately addressing — and that it is increasingly unlikely we will be able to forestall global scale human disasters. The fundamental questions then become: What should we think? What should we do?

3. Key Figures in Philosophy of Technology in the West

A selective introduction to some key contributors to the development of philosophical reflection on technology in the West. Possibilities range from Ernst Kapp and Friedrich Dessauer through Ortega y Gasset and Martin Heidegger to Don Ihde, Albert Borgmann, Kristin Shrader-Frechette, and Andrew Feenberg. (The particular contributors to be considered are open to discussion and could depend to some extent on your interests.)
