The key objective of this volume is to allow philosophy students and early-stage researchers to
become practicing philosophers in technoscientific settings. Zwart focuses on the
methodological issue of how to practice continental philosophy of technoscience today. This
text draws upon continental authors such as Hegel Engels Heidegger Bachelard and Lacan (and
their fields of dialectics phenomenology and psychoanalysis) in developing a coherent message
around the technicity of science or rather technoscience. Within technoscience the focus will
be on recent developments in life sciences research such as genomics post-genomics synthetic
biology and global ecology. This book uniquely presents continental perspectives that tend to
be underrepresented in mainstream philosophy of science yet entail crucial insights for coming
to terms with technoscience as it is evolving on a global scale today. This is an open access
book.
