  Dessauer, Friedrich History - Dessauer, Friedrich Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Friedrich Dessauer (1881–1963) was born in Aschaffenburg, Germany, on July 19, and died in Frankfurt am Main on February 16.
As an inventor and entrepreneur he developed techniques for deep-penetration X-ray therapy in which weak rays are aimed from different angles to intersect at a point inside the body where their combined energy can be lethal to a tumor while having less of an effect on the surrounding tissues.
Although seldom stated as forthrightly as Dessauer put it, this view of technological activity as a supreme participation in the dynamics of reality arguably has influenced the ethos of cutting-edge engineering practice, as is discussed in David Noble's The Religion of Technology (1997).

 History of Friedrich II of Prussia V 9 - Chapter IV.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Friedrich Wilhelm, who had long, for various reasons, wished to see his Kaiser face to face, thought this would be a good opportunity.
Friedrich Wilhelm had set his heart upon the thing; wished to behold for once a Head of the Holy Roman Empire, and Supreme of Christendom; --also to see a little, with his own eyes, into certain matters Imperial.
Friedrich Wilhelm left Prag full of contempt [dimly, altogether unconsciously, tending to have some contempt, and in the end to be full of it] for the deceitfulness and pride of the Imperial Court: and the Emperor's Ministers disdained a Sovereign who looked without interest on frivolous ceremonials and precedences.

 Early Philosophers
Another German philosopher associated with the philosophy of technology is Friedrich Dessauer (1881-1963).
Dessauer, a devout Catholic, wrote books on theology, was a University lecturer, and opposed Hitler.
As a result, it is Dessauer's work that is most often cited when philosophers of science first acknowledged the philosophy of technology.

These were Friedrich's Proposals; written down with his own hand at Reinsberg, five or six weeks ago (November 17th is the date of it); in what mood, and how wrought upon by Schwerin and Podewils, we saw above.

Friedrich, as Caesar and others have done, cheerfully interprets the omen to his own advantage: "Sign that the High is to be brought low!" says Friedrich.
Friedrich himself commands the other column, has his left upon the Oder, in a country mounting continually towards the South, but with less irregularity of level, and generally flat as yet.
While Friedrich was so busy in Silesia, the world was not asleep around him; the world never is, though it often seems to be, round a man and what action he does in it.

Friedrich Dessauer (1882-1963), Eugene Wilson Caldwell (1870-1915), Henri Dominici (1867-1926), and a number of others contributed to the early development of medical physics.

Francis Bacon and, centuries later, the visionary Ernst Kapp, thought of technology as a means to conquer and master nature - an expression of the classic dichotomy between observer and observed.
But there could be other ways of looking at it (consider, for instance, the seminal work of Friedrich Dessauer).
Contrast this with Dessauer's view of technology as a kind of moral and aesthetic statement or doing, a direct way of interacting with things-in-themselves.

 About the institute
However, it had a predecessor, the "Institut für Physikalische Grundlagen der Medizin" which had been established in 1921 by Friedrich Dessauer, an admirer of Wilhelm Roentgen, who endeavored to apply radiation physics to medicine and biology.
Being a conservative member of parliament for the democratic "Zentrumpartei", Dessauer opposed the National Socialists' rise to power and was then forced to emigrate in 1934.
His successor, Dessauer's colleague and long-standing collaborator, Boris Rajewski was the first director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biophysics.

A third representative figure is Friedrich Dessauer, certainly a pivotal contributor to this tradition of engineering philosophy of technology.

 Society for Philosophy and Technology - volume 1, number 1
As a self-conscious activity the philosophy of technology emerged scarcely 100 years ago among engineers trying to reflect upon and give more general meaning to their work.
First, they have gotten engineers to reflect in a general way on their work, and to see technology as something distinct from science, as deserving its own epistemological, metaphysical, ethical, and political analysis.
During a two or three century period from the Renaissance through the Enlightenment, Galileo Galilei, Francis Bacon, René Descartes, and their followers undertook a comprehensive criticism of traditional philosophy, a criticism that contributed to a world historical transformation and the rise of the modern technological way of being in the world.
