This book packs up the question of a science named "techno-logy", a science of technique allowing us to conceive its foundations,forms and issues. Its title harks back to Jacob Bigelow's Elements of Technology (1829), a collection of lectures given at Harvard. Bigelow supports an articulation between science and technique in which science focuses on technical applications and in which techniques ("useful arts") feed on scientific advances. We have inherited such a definition of technique which is seen as a neutral, mechanical and transparent application of science and thus masked by it. It is precisely this paradigm which we intend to question in this book by sketching the outlines of a technology thought as a science of technique. We think we can develop a scientific knowledge of technique without limiting the latter to a mere application of science. We are sure that the instauration of a "techno-logy" can contribute to redesigning the type of education given in engineering universities, placing at its core a true science of technique encompassing design, creativity, innovation and aiso the critical exercise of a conception of technique. Several French researchers from different disciplines have been invited to contribute to this book which is for us the beginning of a dialogue with our English-speaking academic counterparts and a manner of contributing to the distribution of works illustrating a French tradition of reflection on technology.

Excerpt from Elements of Technology: Taken Chiefly From a Course of Lectures Delivered at Cambridge, on the Application of the Sciences to the Useful Arts, Now Published for the Use of Seminaries and Students A course of Lecture of most of the subjects which occupy this volume, has been delivered at Cambridge, during ten years past, in pursuance of the will of the late Count Rumford, by whose bequest a professorship is founded in Harvard University, on the Application of the Sciences to the Useful Arts. Parts of the same course have been repeated in Boston, to large audiences. The degree of interest which has been taken in these Lectures, has led me to believe that the subject is, in itself, peculiarly capable of exciting the attention and curiosity of students. There can be no doubt that the knowledge, which this study is intended to furnish, is of great use in the common affairs of life; and probably its advancement has contributed, more than that of any other science, to the improved condition of the present age. A certain degree of acquaintance with the theory and scientific principles of the common arts, is found so generally important, that most educated men, in the course of an ordinary practical life, are obliged to obtain it from some source, or to suffer inconvenience for the want of it.

The first philosophy of technology, constructing humans as technological and technology as an underpinning of all culture Ernst Kapp was a foundational scholar in the fields of media theory and philosophy of technology. His 1877 Elements of a Philosophy of Technology is a visionary study of the human body and its relationship with the world that surrounds it. At the book’s core is the concept of “organ projection”: the notion that humans use technology in an effort to project their organs to the outside, to be understood as “the soul apparently stepping out of the body in the form of a sending-out of mental qualities” into the world of artifacts. Kapp applies this theory of organ projection to various areas of the material world—the axe externalizes the arm, the lens the eye, the telegraphic system the neural network. From the first tools to acoustic instruments, from architecture to the steam engine and the mechanic routes of the railway, Kapp’s analysis shifts from “simple” tools to more complex network technologies to examine the projection of relations. What emerges from Kapp’s prophetic work is nothing less than the emergence of early elements of a cybernetic paradigm.
