Features: This book is guided by the fundamental theories and paradigms of the philosophy of science and technology, set against the backdrop of establishing and implementing the scientific outlook on development and building a harmonious socialist society, with the aim of flourishing philosophy and social sciences. It conducts an in-depth, comprehensive, and systematic study of the "social technology" issue within the perspective of the philosophy of science and technology, rather than a superficial, one-sided, or fragmented one. Following the logical path of philosophy—philosophy of technology—philosophy of social technology, it meticulously analyzes and critiques the philosophical issues or those with philosophical nature within the category of "social technology." The first three chapters focus on the research object, methods, and value of the philosophy of social technology, while the subsequent seven chapters concentrate on issues such as the existence, cognition, systems, methods, engineering, activities, and creation of social technology, as well as its prediction. This philosophical work holds significant theoretical, academic, and practical value in broadening the theoretical frontiers of the philosophy of science and technology.
