Requirements: .ePUB reader, 41 MB
Overview: The relationship of the current technosciences and the older engineering sciences, examined through the history of the “useful” sciences in Prussia.
Do today’s technoscientific disciplines—including materials science, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics—signal a radical departure from traditional science? In Technoscience in History, Ursula Klein argues that these novel disciplines and projects are not an “epochal break,” but are part of a history that can be traced back to German “useful” sciences and beyond. Klein’s account traces a deeper history of technoscience, mapping the relationship between today’s cutting-edge disciplines and the development of the useful and technological sciences in Prussia from 1750 to 1850.
