According to the new school of scientists, technology is an overlooked force in expanding the
horizons of scientific knowledge.
(71)
Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the
insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and
tools.
(72)
"In short" , a leader of the new school contends, "the scientific revolution, as we call it,
was largely the improvement and invention and use of a series of instruments that expanded the
reach of science in innumerable directions. "
(73)
Over
the
years,
tools
and
technology
themselves
as
a
source
of
fundamental
innovation
have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science. The modern school that hails
technology algues that such masters as Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and inventors such as
Edison
attached
great
importance
to,
and
derived
great
benefit
from,
craft
information
and
technological devices of different kinds that were usable in scientific experiments.
The
centerpiece
of
the
argument
of
a
technology-yes
,
genius-no
advocate
was
an
analysis
of
Galileo' s role at the start of the scientific revolution. The wisdom of the day was derived from
Ptolemy, an astronomer of the second century, whose elaborate system of the sky put Earth at the
center
of
all
heavenly
motions.
(74)
Galileo'
s
greatest
glory
was
that
in
1609
he
was
the
first
person
to
turn
the
newly
invented
telescope
on
the
heavens
to
prove
that
the
planets
revolve
around the sun rather than around the Earth. But the real hero of the story, according to the new
school
of
scientists,
was
the
long
evolution
in
the
improvement
of
machinery
for
making
eyeglasses .
Federal policy is necessarily involved in the technology vs. genius dispute.
(75)
Whether the
Government should increase the financing of pure science at the expense of technology or
vice
versa (
反之
) often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force.
