ABSTRACT

How do the natural sciences work? How do you design a good lathe or robot? What would bring about a just and sustainable food system? How should a solid foundation for modern information and communication technology (ICT) be laid? How should you organise a humane factory? What is the influence of technology on society as a whole? What makes technology meaningful? Questions of this kind regularly confront engineers. In this chapter we show how Dooyeweerd’s philosophy has helped many natural scientists and engineers to tackle them.
