Notes

  1. As early as 1970, Hans Lenk talked about the transition from the so-called “scientific age” towards an “information- and systems technological age" (Lenk 1971); see also Rapp (1978) regarding the comparison of methods in science and technology, highlighting the ever expanding technicalization of scientific experimentation and the scientification of technology at the same time (Lenk and Moser 1973, 180f, 206ff).

  2. I thank Jan Kyrre Berg Olsen Friis for the e-mail exchange on this: Thinking is not something that happens in consciousness, it takes place before conscious awareness, and this form of thinking is very much an attuning to sensuously givens thus thinking is a “seeing” of that which eventually will become a perception that has been informed by past experiences and habits.
