'Science, Technology, and Society' - STS - has become a major educational theme. There are many courses in schools, universities and other institutions, dealing with all sorts of topics such as the history of science, energy policy, industrial innovation, technology assessment, Third World development, scientific method, and so on. But what is this subject really about? Why should it be taught? Who should study it? What should they learn? How should the subject be approached? Who should teach it? These questions are being asked by both teachers and students in many fields of science, engineering, medicine, social studies, and the humanities. This informal account of the rationale of STS education shows how many diverse factors are involved - the philosophy and sociology of science and education, social and cultural objectives, political ideologies, vocational needs, scholarly standards, institutional capabilities, etc., not to mention the practical realities of teaching and learning at

Today's digital revolution is a worldwide phenomenon, with profound and often differential implications for communities around the world and their relationships to one another. This book presents a new, explicitly international theory of media ethics, incorporating non-Western perspectives and drawing deeply on both moral philosophy and the philosophy of technology. Clifford Christians develops an ethics grounded in three principles - truth, human dignity, and non-violence - and shows how these principles can be applied across a wide range of cases and domains. The book is a guide for media professionals, scholars, and educators who are concerned with the global ramifications of new technologies and with creating a more just world.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the key themes in Greek and Roman science, medicine, mathematics and technology. A distinguished team of specialists engage with topics including the role of observation and experiment, Presocratic natural philosophy, ancient creationism, and the special style of ancient Greek mathematical texts, while several chapters confront key questions in the philosophy of science such as the relationship between evidence and explanation. The volume will spark renewed discussion about the character of 'ancient' versus 'modern' science, and will broaden readers' understanding of the rich traditions of ancient Greco-Roman natural philosophy, science, medicine and mathematics.

本書探討的主題是地質學對人類思想的重大貢獻——“深時”的發現及其理論淵源。地球歷史是一段古老、浩瀚而我們只能通過隱喻來理解的歷史。本書圍繞“時間之箭”(敘事歷史，方向性和獨特性)和“時間之環”(內在規律，週期和重複)的二分法，結合圖像學的闡釋，重新審視和解讀了“深時”思想在西方地質學領域三位先驅及其經典著作——托馬斯‧伯內特的《地球的神聖理論》、詹姆斯‧赫頓的《地球理論》和查爾斯‧萊爾的《地質學原理》，由此重構了地球歷史的發展脈絡。--------------------關聯書目《科學哲學導論》(第四版)Philosophy of Science，Fourth Edition《技術哲學導論》Philosophy of Technology《觀念的發明者》(第三版)Inventors of Ideas，Third Edition《物理學的概念》(第五版)Physics：concepts and connections，Fourth Edition《時間之箭，時間之環》Time’s Arrow，Time’s Cycle《現代宇宙中的空間與時間》Space and Time in the Modern Universe《牛頓傳》The Life of Isaac Newton《瓦特傳》The Life and Legend of James Watt
