Hans Achterhuis

Hans Achterhuis, Ph.D., is Professor in Systematic Philosophy at the University of Twente. For now his research concerns particularly philosophy of technology and environmental problems deriving from this. His list of publications shows a great scope (in fields of medical care, labour, third-world-philosophy). In 1967 he took his doctoral degree on Albert Camus.

One of his latest books (1988) handles the topic of 'scarcity' and in 1992 he edited a book ('De maat van de techniek') ('the norms of technology') in which several reputable philosophers of technology are portrayed. His latest book 'Natuur tussen mythe en techniek' ('the natural, between myth and technology') contains several articles about the relation between technology and environment
