Abstract

Science-Technology-Society relationship implies a lot of issues. The mutual influence of these three elements involves a recursive relation, because such a relation –ontological and dynamical at the same time- conditions behavior, social imaginery, cognitive approaches, and values. In two words, it conditions our view of the world. This relationship represents an epistemic link because it includes both the structure of technology derived from science and the structure of society. Consequently, it refers so much to processes of knowledge elaboration as dynamical relations in society. This phenomenon has important effects on the power of manipulating reality. Therefore, it points to the question of the responsibility of subject, and so to Ethics as a central issue. Thus, it seems clear the necessity of a new formative proposal for society.
