In scholarly debates, as well as in everyday parlance, we tend to pull
science and technology apart: science gives us theory, and technology
applies it. In practice, however, science and technologies are highly
intertwined. In Techno-Scientific Practices: An Informational
Approach, Federica Russo looks at the practice of science and
elucidates the role of technologies and instruments in the process of
knowledge production. In this exercise, it becomes evident that
technologies cannot be analyzed on their own, but always in relation
to epistemic agents. Thus, Techno-Scientific Practices emphasizes the
importance of analyzing the process of knowledge production in
techno-scientific contexts, in which there is a triad of relations to
look at: us, the instruments, and the world. The book thus builds
bridges between the philosophy of science, philosophy of technology,
and science and technology studies in an unprecedent way.
