Naturalistic understanding of technology in the paradigm of nonclassical scientific rationality
We have carried out the philosophical and methodological analysis of the significant changes in the methodological approaches of nonclassical scientific rationality, these approaches have a direct influence on the understanding of the phenomenon of technology, and contributed to the formation of a new paradigm of technology. We have revealed an organic link between the naturalistic reflection of technology in the early twentieth century, on the one hand, and the dominant, at that time, biological disciplinary ontology, on the other hand. The conclusion is made that current ideas about technology are the result of a long evolution not only of philosophical, but also general scientific views of technology.
