چکیده
Before I begin, I would like to situate the field for you briefly. You may already have some familiarity with philosophy of science as this is one of the most prestigious fields of philosophy.

Where science seeks to know, technology seeks to control. Nevertheless, there is more to the story than this simple contrast.
