Special Issue on Maintenance

deXmat postdoc Mark Thomas Young has guest edited a double special issue of Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology on the topic of maintenance (Vol 29 No 2&3 2025). In his introductory article, 'Technology Over Time: Philosophical Perspectives on Maintenance', Mark examines the range of practices by which we keep things going over time and explores how the recent movement towards studying practices of maintenance and repair in philosophy of technology yields new perspectives on design, circularity and material flows.
