Separability and Technical Constitution
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 379-384 - 2011
The question of the status and the mode of functioning of technologies which participate in our cognitive activity (action, perception, reasoning) is inseparable from the question of the bodily inscription of these faculties. One can adopt the principle that a tool is fully appropriate when it functions as a component of the organs of our lived body. However, these technical entities can be differ......
A Critical Use of Foucault’s Art of Living
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 323-327 - 2015
Foucault’s vocabulary of arts of existence might be helpful to problematize the entwinement of humans and technology and to search for new types of hybrid selves. However, to be a serious new ethical vocabulary for technology, this art of existence should be supplemented with an ongoing critical discourse of technologies, including a critical analysis of the subjectivities imposed by technologies,......
The idea of realism in the new experimentalism and the problem of the existence of theoretical entities in chemistry
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 517-535 - 1995
The paper is focused on some aspects of experimental realism of Ian Hacking, and especially on his “manipulability” criterion of existence. The problem is here related to chemical molecules, the objects of interest in chemical research. The authors consider whether and to what extent this criterion has been applied in experimental practice of chemistry. They argue that “experimentation on” is a fu......

The Platonism of Modern Physical Science: Historical Roots and “Rational Reconstruction”
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-20 - 2023
Perhaps the most influential historian of science of the last century, Alexandre Koyré, famously argued that the icon of modern science, Galileo Galilei, was a Platonist who had hardly performed experiments. Koyré has been followed by other historians and philosophers of science. In addition, it is not difficult to find examples of Platonists in contemporary science, in particular in the physical ......
And Yet It Moves: The Observability of the Rotation of the Earth
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 213-225 - 2010
A central point of controversy in the time of the Copernican Revolution was the motion, or not, of the earth. We now take it for granted that Copernicus and Galileo were right; the earth really does move. But to what extent is this conclusion based on observation? This paper explores the meaning and observability of the rotation of the earth and shows that the phenomenon was not observable at the ......
