Which philosophical works or topics do you think are the most relevant in today's science and engineering? Does it go beyond "make technology that services the mankind but please don't kill everything else in the process"? It's argued that today's engineers don't know how to approach problems philosophically. If I were someone who designs a motor drive and writes code for the motor control, how would I approach it philosophically? It's not like I could make the motor crave blood and the destruction of trees even if I wanted to (inb4 pleb eng can't even make blood craving AI), but I could instead choose components and materials from manufacturers that operate somewhat ethically?

Or is the philosophy of engineering just drawing Venn diagrams while chanting "synergy, synergy, save the trees and give me energy!" and feeling good about it?
