Scientific change is often a function of technological innovation – new instruments show us new things we could not see before and we then need new theories to explain them. One of the results of this process is that what counts as scientific evidence changes, and how we do our science changes. Hitherto the technologies which make contemporary science possible have been ignored. This book aims to correct that omission and to spell out the consequences of taking the technologies behind the doing of science seriously.

Pitt’s book is a powerful wake-up call for philosophers of science and for philosophers in general: neither new ideas or new evidence are the driving forces that keep science (and society) in constant flux, but changing technological infrastructures; he argues persuasively that this notion deserves a central place in any philosophical analysis of the ever changing modern human condition.
Peter Kroes, Professor emertitus, Delft University of Technology
