| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to support the concept of technoscience is not confused when its meaning is understood in certain ways. The use of this concept is found inside and outside the academic world. However, not all philosophers are satisfied it is applied in philosophy of science and technology. Mario Bunge (2012) argues that the concept is generating confusion regarding the classical distinction between pure science, applied and technology. According to the Argentine-Canadian philosopher, the only acceptable sense of the term occurs when applied to the activity of individuals who are both scientists and technologists, as was the case of Galileo and Tesla. Countering this position, we think that the term can be used, at least not so confusing in the sense proposed by the philosopher Javier Echeverría (2003; 2005). |
