Chasing Technoscience by Don Ihde

Chasing Technoscience by Don Ihde

Although often absent from the considerations of philosophers, sociologists, and anthropologists, the material dimension plays an important role in the practices of the sciences. This work brings together four prominent figures who make technoscience, or science embodied in its technologies, a central theme of their work.

".. an original, quirky, and illuminating collection of material concerning the relatively new and exciting field of technoscience studies... [T]he editors' choice of multiple approaches to the work of four major figures is wholly suited to clarifying their unorthodox and consequently somewhat elusive philosophical positions." Robert Scharff
