Features: The philosopher of science L. Laudan believes, "Science is essentially an activity of solving problems." This applies not only to natural sciences but also to philosophy, social sciences, and humanities. This book proposes that the modern technological revolution holds significant importance for contemporary social development, and some even argue that we have entered the "knowledge-based economy" (OECD) and its "knowledge society facilitated by information technology for ordered development" (UNCSTD). However, what exactly is the modern technological revolution? Is it the "logic of scientific discovery"? Or the "social construction of science"? How do we understand modern society? How do we understand Marx's historical materialism? This book will analyze and answer these questions one by one. If you seek answers, then read this book carefully and find the key to unlocking the of knowledge.
