Confronted with the accelerated development of science and
technology the presented analyses are focusing on three predominant
theoretical approaches in the philosophy of science and technology:
technoscience (STS), technology assessment (TA) and converging
technologies (NBIC). On this base are extrapolated the coordinates
of the heuristics of technosciences which are recognized as the
platform of understanding but also dealing with technoscientific
innovations. This concerns especially nanotechnology and the
emerging theoretical, methodological, ethical, socio-political
controversies and dilemmas. In this manner the book epitomizes the
elaborated to date approaches and designs the heuristic turn as the
strategy of comprehensive understanding of technosciences.
