Monitorowanie technologii a nieusuwalne granice sterowalności (na przykładzie krytyki projektu inżynierii klimatu)
Journal Title: Studia BAS - Year 2015, Vol 43, Issue 3
Abstract
The article addresses the issue of monitoring of a technology. The author provides analysis of the inherent limitation of the very idea of controlling and points out the inevitable limits of philosophical, theoretical and practical nature. In that context, selected critical arguments concerning technology, Technology Assessment and Science and Technology Studies are presented. It is argued that the project of geoengineering exemplifies the dangerous views of scientism, so-called technological imperative and instrumentalism, the tendency to underestimate the future risks, and finally, the dilemma of control.
