Features: "Introduction to Engineering Philosophy" is a pioneering and innovative work within the modern philosophical system, belonging to the philosophy of changing the world as described by Marx. The book initiates its discussion on the theory of the "Four Worlds" by critically evaluating Popper's theory of the three worlds, which, in turn, not only inherits but also develops the former. The book proposes and analyzes over 50 categories related to engineering philosophy, such as planning, decision-making, purpose, operations research, institutions, operations, procedures, management, responsibilities, standards, will, the Four Worlds, value rationality, and the unity of heaven, earth, and humanity. It is precisely these elements that constitute the category system of engineering philosophy, thereby becoming an important node in the theoretical network. In a complete modern philosophical system, it should include components such as ontology, epistemology, methodology, and engineering theory. The book emphasizes that philosophy of science should strategically shift its focus to engineering philosophy to guide the direction of human survival and development.
