1. Technologized Science Byron Kaldis Beijing 2010

2. Mono-Scientific overconfidence Technical engineering epistemically privileged Totalized Science Technoscience replacing both pure and applied science “Transforming nature”

3. Technology and Values Understanding TechnoScience (TS) is not unrelated to ethical issues Dominant TS shapes its own ends Alternative Prognoses: (a) evils of technology are not peculiarly modern (b) Technology on its own is not always evil

4. (c) Modern TS alone is responsible for the evils of science (d) what is 'natural’ as opposed to technically produced? (e) the evaluative criterion of TS is its own epistemological authority

5. POST-INDUTRIAL SOCIETIES AND TechnoScience (1) THE CENTRALITY OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE (2) THE PREVALENCE OF INTELLECTUAL TECHNOLOGY

6. Critical Points  Economic forces endogenous to technoscientifically driven knowledge?  A new intellectual technology?  Doubtful whether contemporary TS is losing its revolutionary character, becoming merely instrumental  Epistemic vs. Political Conclusions

7. Back to Values Non-Instrumentality Circularity Bell’s diagnoses: “post-industrial society will harness science more directly to instrumental purposes” “society is left with no transcendent ethos to provide some appropriate sense of purpose, no anchorage that can provide stable meaning for people.”
