我不知道严格来说这算不算哲学书，但有一本对工程师来说尤为相关的书是 Billy Vaughn Koen 的《Discussion of the Method》。
I don't know if you would strictly call this a philosophy book, but one that is particularly relevant to engineers is Discussion of the Method by Billy Vaughn Koen.
同理，我强烈推荐 Billy Vaughn Koen 的《Discussion of the Method》。这是一本工程哲学书，它解决了你读完费耶阿本德（Feyerabend）后会产生的许多未解之惑，同时也对科学哲学领域进行了综述……
In a similar vein, I highly recommend Discussion of the Method by Billy Vaughn Koen. It's a philosophy of engineering that resolves many of the unanswered questions you'll have after reading Feyerabend, and also gives an overview of the field of philosophy of science…
参见 Billy Koen 的《Discussion of the Method》。他是一位核工程师。他对工程的定义大致就是：应用启发式方法（heuristics）来解决问题。
See Discussion of the Method by Billy Koen. He was a nuclear engineer. His definition of engineering was something like applying heuristics to solve problems.
……机制来约束它们。“要是我们能消除自然原因导致的死亡（而其他一切都完全保持不变），那岂不美哉”——这种想法跟现实工程差得十万八千里。参见 Billy Vaughn Koen 的《Discussion of the Method》，第 233-236 页。
…mechanisms to keep them in check. "Wouldn't it be great if we abolished death by natural causes (and everything else stayed exactly the same)" is about as far as you can get from this. See Billy Vaughn Koen, Discussion of the Method, pp. 233-236.
