  Egbert Schuurman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Egbert Schuurman (1937-) is a professor of philosophy in the Netherlands, whose teaching is most concerned with exploring and developing Reformational philosophy and its organized expression, the Association for Reformational Philosophy [1].
He has published numerous books in both Dutch and English in his specialty of the philosophy of technology; by which he means, consistent with Dutch and French conventions, to mean the "science of techniques", as distinguished from what English speakers often refer to as "technology," which French and Dutch speakers would refer to as "technique".
In addition, Dr Schuurman has written over 260 articles, many in English.

Schuurman's other book that I have read - Faith and Hope in Technology - is written for a more general audience but provides an excellent look at the place of technology in modern society.
Schuurman's main point in the book is is that "a fundamental characteristic of Western thought is its technical and controlling nature." Instead of asking what technology is, Schuurman asks what technology means.
This is a collection of essays by various people including Egbert Schuurman (seeing any patterns?), Jacques Ellul, H. Richard Niebuhr, Augustine, and Aquinas.

In discussion with a fellow student I met in Eindhoven, Egbert van der Hout, I mentioned a couple of tapes (.mp3-format) from I think Greg Bahnsen on Evolutionism.
Schuurman extends this view to a scientific-technological control-idealism, because the idealism leads to a reshaped culture due to the possibilities that technology has yielded.
However, in the described idealism of absolute control through science and technology, the abstract secondary world is identified with and imposed on the primary world, which leads to a great reduction of reality in every area of life.

Egbert Schuurman, who teaches philosophy at the Agricultural University of Wageningen in the Netherlands, made the case for the profound differences between technology that creates new inorganic tools like metal widgets or electricity, and technology that develops new organic tools like genetically modified seeds and bioengineered animals.
Schuurman recommended the development of an ethical framework specifically for technology that manipulates living organisms — a framework that admits to uncertainty and protects quality of life both now and in the long run.
