TL;DR: The field of philosophy of science as mentioned in this paper is concerned with the truth of science, the validity of theories and experimentation, but it is not concerned with truth but with usefulness, where science seeks to know, technology seeks to control.
Abstract: Before I begin, I would like to situate the field for you briefly. You may already have some familiarity with philosophy of science as this is one of the most prestigious fields of philosophy. It is concerned with the truth of science, the validity of theories and experimentation. We call these “epistemological” issues, issues in the theory of knowledge. Science and technology share the same kind of rational thinking based on empirical observation and knowledge of natural causality, but technology is not concerned with truth but with usefulness. Where science seeks to know, technology seeks to control. Nevertheless, there is more to the story than this simple contrast.
