Cultures & Technology

Introduction

At present this relatively in vogue to speak of scientific and technological culture, due, no doubt, the growing interest in everything related to cultural diversity and intercultural relations. But it also has to do with the increasingly evident and decisive global configuration of cultures by the incessant flood of techno scientific innovations. The palpable transformation in techno culture promotes acceptance of science and technology as cultural patterns. In any case, it is undeniable that one of the biggest challenges for the twenty-first century culture is to understand, assess and manage the proliferation culturally techno scientific innovations. However, the new line of cultureless interpretation of science and technology run the risk of being stranded by the ballast of ancient and modern philosophical divisions between science, technology, culture and nature.

In this paper, on the contrary, it is argued that to understand contemporary science and technology and cultural achievements culturally and manage the consequences of their innovations, it is necessary to establish a theoretical and conceptual framework that breaks with traditional dissociations of these, redefining somehow, the same ideas of culture and nature and be able to bear fruit in new cultural technologies of interpretation, assessment and intervention. "This is not necessary to start from scratch, but I just need to recover the ancient and modern tradition integrated Promethean conception of cultures".

But as culture is dynamic, constantly changing, man can only become aware of it by extraordinary effort of education. And that education can not be to make him the specialized insect species, but the man able to understand and control the whole process of your life. And it will never be possible if education only specialize in the production and their personal affairs. No need to enable it for much more than that. Enable him to understand and address the culture in which it is immersed and living, in order to accept it and adapt to it and at the same time contributing to its constant review and reform.

Communities and techno scientific practices this sublime is integrated into several current internationally for social studies, history and philosophy of science and technology.
