From mechanical arts to the philosophy of technology

Nicola De Liso

Economics of Innovation and New Technology, 2013, vol. 22, issue 7, 726-750

Abstract: In this paper, I reconstruct some of the key steps which characterise the way in which technology has been considered and studied since the times of ancient Greece. Within this reconstruction, I will highlight the evolution of the mechanical arts into the predominant technology which took centre stage during the First Industrial Revolution. The further step of the alliance between technology and science is also considered.
