I16-R122-article21776oai2021-06-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Rueda Barrera, Eduardo A. 2020-02-07 This paper has three sections. Firstly, I explore what the term technoscience does mean. I justify the relevance of the term on both a) the empirical evidence that social studies of science bring up, and b) the philosophical redescription that Heidegger offers on the relationship between science and technique. Secondly, I show up the irony that emerge when we consider technoscience as [the] «factor of modernity». This irony arises, according to Gianni Vattimo, from «the transformation of the world in a place in where there are not facts anymore but interpretations. From this circumstance follows the transformation of the potential for domination of technoscience, which has occupied the critical work of the Frankfurters, into the normative ideal of reducing violence. Finally, I show how this ideal should be understood: the ideal of reducing violence must be understood as care. Following Agnes Heller, I explain how care, to be real, implies a double moral duty: responsibility before others and resurrection of nature. I insist that both the responsibility to others and the resurrection of nature can only be genuine if the Others and the Other (nature) constitute not an xteeriority, but a pta rof who we are. Este trabajo se desarrolla en tres partes. En la primera defiendo la pertinencia de la expresión tecnociencia. Justifico la pertinencia del término tanto en a) la evidencia empírica que arrojan los estudios científico-sociales en ciencia y tecnología, como en b) la redescripción filosófica que sobre la relación entre ciencia y técnica ofrece Heidegger. En la segunda, pongo de manifiesto la ironía que emerge al considerar la tecnociencia como «factor de modernidad». Esta ironía surge, de acuerdo con Gianni Vattimo, de «la transformación del mundo en un lugar donde ya no hay hechos sino interpretaciones». De esta circunstancia se desprende la transformación del potencial de dominación de la tecnociencia, que ha ocupado el trabajo crítico de los frankfurtianos, en el ideal normativo de reducción de la violencia. En la última parte muestro cómo debe comprenderse este ideal: el ideal de reducción de la violencia ha de entenderse como cuidado. Siguiendo a Agnes Heller, explico cómo el cuidado, para ser real, implica un doble deber moral: responsabilidad ante los otros y resurrección de la naturaleza. Insisto en que tanto la responsabilidad ante los otros como la resurrección de la naturaleza solo pueden resultar genuinas si los Otros y lo Otro (la naturaleza) constituyen no una exterioridad, sino una parte de lo que somos. application/pdf http://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/Kawsaypacha/article/view/21776 10.18800/kawsaypacha.201902.001 spa Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú http://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/Kawsaypacha/article/view/21776/21295 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Tecnociencia Ironía Cuidado Ideal de no violencia Responsabilidad por los otros Resurrección de la naturaleza Technoscience, irony and care Tecnociencia, ironía y cuidado info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://biblioteca.clacso.edu.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=pe/pe-013&d=article21776oai |
