Read articles by Skolimowski (Structure of thinking in technology) and Mario Bunge (Technology as
applied science), both posted under Week 1 Required Readings, and write an essay about:
• How does Skolimowski differentiates between science and technology? How does he define progress in
science and in technology?
• How does Skolimowski connect the concept of “better” to Praxiology (or Praxeology)?
• How does Bunge define pure science, applied science and technology?
• What is Bunge’s definitions of technological theories (substantive and operative) and their characteristics?
• Why Bunge claims that the technological theories are less deep than scientific theories?
