Features: In the human spirit, there are two achievements that begin with wonder—philosophy and science—but they have had different fates. In ancient times, philosophy was king, but now, science has taken its place. This transformation itself is a topic in the philosophy of technology. This book explores the origins of science, the development of scientific thought, the inherent characteristics and value of scientific understanding, the essence and value of technology, the function of technology in the interaction between humans and nature, and the role of science in the entire history of human civilization.
