La peculiaridad del conocimiento tecnológico

Resumo

Philosophy of technology, a rather recent discipline, has been growingly emphasizing the peculiar nature of technological knowledge, mainly the fact that it is different from scientific knowledge. In this paper, I rejoin several characteristics of technological knowledge which are scattered in the literature. I aim thereby at contributing to a better understanding of technological knowledge as a whole and to the solution of some questions regarding the nature of science, in particular its possible intrinsic relation to technology.
