The philosophical examination of how we study technology philosophically. It asks: What are the methods of philosophy of technology? How do different traditions (phenomenology, critical theory, pragmatism) approach technology? Is philosophy of technology making progress? How does it relate to ethics, politics, cultural studies? Metaphilosophy of Technology prevents the philosophy of technology from becoming stagnant by forcing it to examine its own assumptions and methods.
"You're using Heidegger to critique AI. Metaphilosophy of technology asks: is Heidegger's framework adequate for understanding AI? What assumptions does it make? Are there other frameworks that might work better? Your critique might be deep; the question is whether it's deep about AI or deep about Heidegger."
