Description

Book Synopsis
This book is presented by two authors who worked in close cooperation. The first part is written by Ewa Bińczyk and discusses various postulates that have been formulated in response to the problem of the unwanted side-effects of the practical success of technoscience which derive from two theoretical perspectives: the study of risk and science and technology studies (STS), inspired by actor-network theory (ANT). In the second part of the book Tomasz Stępień analyses and characterizes the nano-domain as an example of the development of techno-sciences. Generally, in the case of nanotechnology this book calibrates reciprocally to each other the indeed familiar but also slightly different theoretical approaches established in the philosophy of science and technology.

Table of Contents
Contents: Monitoring technoscience in the sociology of risk and science and technology studies – Beck’s cosmopolitanism and the risk society – Latour’s politics of nature – Precautionary Principle, Nanotechnology Assessment and Convergence inside the Technoscience – Ethical Aspects of Nanotechnology.
