Abstract
The background to this chapter is the idea that development strategies based on the use of capitalist technoscience in countries on the periphery of capitalism have proven increasingly ineffective. The aim is to draw on the resources of Latin American Science and Technology potential to overcome underdevelopment, dependency, and inequality. I suggest a concept which is important for Latin Americans involved with the philosophy of technology – solidary technoscience. It is the basis of an analytical-conceptual framework for launching a cognitive platform for the solidary economy. This new concept involves a critique which is made in order to overcome the concept of social technology used within the Latin American solidary economy movement.
