Resumen
MARTINEZ, Sergio F.. Ciencia, tecnología y democracia. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2007, n.32, pp.53-76. ISSN 0188-6649. https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v32i1.171.
I claim that Dewey’s concept of public provides a way of reconciling two intuitions in conflict. On the one hand the idea that the reliance on experts conflicts with the development of democracy and on the other the idea that the development of democracy in the complex societies of the present requires of science and technology. The construction of the public in the sense of Dewey leads us to overcome the traditional opposition between substantivists and constructionists in the philosophy of technology (and in most empirical studies of technology) and thus allows for a way of reconciling the two intuitions.
