Science, Technology and Society

Philosophy of Science, Technology and Society (STS) is an emerging field of Philosophy which tries to investigate the role of science and technology in society. It does so by examining the technological culture we live in, by investigating individual technologies or by studying the history of science, technology and society. Many useful resources about these and closely related topics can be found in the category Science/Science_in_Society.
