Springer Computational Artifacts - Philosophy of Computer Science

Explore the intersection of technology and theory with Computational Artifacts: Towards a Philosophy of Computer Science. Published by Springer as part of the Theory and Applications of Computability series, this book offers a unique perspective on the discipline by focusing on the concept of the computational artifact. Rather than treating computer science as an abstract set of rules, this work analyzes its core components as technical artifacts. This approach allows for the application of established analytical tools and concepts from the philosophy of technology to the specific technical objects found within computer science. By viewing these elements through this conceptual framework, the author examines central issues that arise from reflecting on the nature and practice of the field. This text is an essential resource for those interested in how the practice of computer science can be understood through a philosophical lens. It provides a structured way to study the technical objects that define the modern digital landscape, making it a valuable addition to any academic or professional library focused on the theory and application of computing.
