Abstract

The article shows the change in the relations between science and technology towards more integration of fundamental and applied research, as reflected in the concept of an integrated field of study, such as technoscience. Considered the idea of post-academic, post-normal science business, finalizing science, fashion-2 research. The role of philosophy in understanding technoscience is seen in the analysis of the ontological and epistemological issues. Epistemological analysis is considered as the basis of studies of ethical, values and social issues associated with the development of technoscientific projects.
