    The history and philosophy of science (HPS) evolved from focusing on experimental turns to embracing a technological perspective. This shift re-examines how science constructs reality through intertwined human thought and material, impacting epistemology and historiography.

    Area of Science:

    • History and Philosophy of Science (HPS)
    • Philosophy of Technology

    Context:

    • The 1960s saw HPS emerge from philosophy of science and history of science.
    • The 1980s "experimental turn" focused on instruments and experiments to understand scientific knowledge.
    • A new "technological turn" is emerging, integrating philosophy of technology into HPS.

    Purpose:

    • To explore the evolution of HPS from an experimental to a technological focus.
    • To analyze the philosophical implications of viewing science as technology.
    • To broaden the scope of HPS by incorporating insights from philosophy of technology.

    Summary:

    • HPS traditionally investigated how science represents reality, particularly after the "experimental turn" emphasized instruments.
    • The "technological turn" reframes science as a constructive process where human thought and materiality are inseparable.

  • This perspective shifts focus from representing a mind-independent reality to achieving experimental and predictive control.

    • Impact:

    • Opens new avenues for epistemology by treating science as a form of technology.
    • Enriches the historiography of science by examining how scientific practices shape the world.
    • Integrates HPS with fields like environmental history, history of technology, and social history.
