(Post)constructivism on Technoscience
Abstract
The main aims of the article are as follows: (1) to indicate that cognition (in particular the conditions of effectiveness in laboratory practices) may be satisfactorily modelled from a (properly determined) constructivist perspective; (2) to reconstruct the latest tendencies within science and technology studies encapsulated in the term (post)constructivism rather than in the notion of social constructivism; (3) to show how technoscience is conceptualised from the (post)constructivist standpoint.
