Abstract

This book shows how the grand aspiration of creating a Technology for Humanity can be practically achieved. Value-based Engineering shows how to embed value dispositions into technology design, guiding the reader in a clear and concise way from the exploration of value principles to system requirements. In so doing, it supports the creation of a value-based business mission, seeking to foster organizational purpose and human wellbeing with a given technology. Built on the know-how of dozens of experts from around the world involved in the IEEE “P7000” standardization project, Value-based Engineering is now endorsed in ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-7000, getting the best out of 21st century technology while avoiding many tech-induced social dilemmas.

Abstract

The most extensive English-language study of Schopenhauer's metaphysics of the will yet published, this book represents a major contribution to Schopenhauer scholarship. Here, John E. Atwell critically but sympathetically examines the philosopher's main work, The World as Will and Representation, demonstrating that the philosophical system it puts forth does constitute a consistent whole. The author holds that this system is centered on a single thought, "The world is self-knowledge of the will." He then traces this unifying concept through the four books of The World as Will and Representation, and, in the process, dissolves the work's alleged inconsistencies.
