Resumen

Science, technology, and Society (STS) as an explicit academic field of teaching and research first emerged in the United States in the 1960s. The emergence has both a deep historical background in the modern attempt to transform society through the pursuit of science and technology (the Enlightenment) and the critical reaction to this project (Romanticism). Previous moments in this cultural conflict included the emergence of sociology (the scientific study of society) and the history of philosophy of science (society attempting to comprehend its own creation).
