QISS Skills and Technological Understanding

A new article by Eline de Jong and Sebastian De Haro has been published in the journal Synthese. In Technological Understanding: On the Cognitive Skill Involved in the Design and Use of Technological Artefacts they explore how we can better understand technology—not just as applied science, but as a domain with its own forms of knowledge, design practices, and explanatory frameworks. The paper contributes to ongoing discussions at the intersection of philosophy of science and technology, highlighting the distinctive nature of technological understanding, particularly in emerging fields such as quantum technologies.
