Abstract
There is a widespread belief held by certain groups of researchers that there are almost as many points of view in science as there are people involved in doing science. In this respect, philosophy of science is no exception. Among diverse viewpoints, positions and theoretical constructs in the field of philosophy of technology, the author considers the most significant directions and approaches and briefly outlines the philosophical positions of their leading representatives.
In particular, the author considers such relevant questions as the ambiguity of views and approaches in assessing the place and role of technology in the development of human society, preservation of the natural environment, creation of new ethical norms of interaction in the process of a thriving scientific and technological revolution.
The problem of the mediated influence of technology on human development occupies a significant place in the philosophy of technology. This influence is expressed not only in material and spiritual forms, but also physiologically, which is reflected in one of the approaches described in this article.
