Hermeneutic Dimensions of Science and Technology The editorial discusses perspectives for a hermeneutics of science and technology. It begins by appreciating the original antagonism between hermeneutics and science, between hermeneutics and technology. While the former signifies the struggle to establish the purity, transparency, and objectivity of science, the latter concerns the symbolic dimension of technology as well as practices of sense-making in human interactions with technology. And while the antagonism of hermeneutics and science persists, the latter can be dissolved by treating technical works on a par with artworks. If there is a hermeneutic of science and not just a hermeneutic historiography or philosophical reconstruction of science, it can be found in the technical process of modeling as a mutual attunement of theory and reality by way of the model as mediator or hermeneutic device. This conclusion for the hermeneutics of science leads on to conceptions of a hermeneutics of technical works, including models as material compositions that establish what can be done in the fields of theory and practice. – From among the twelve papers in this special issue, a first group of papers struggles with and against the „original antagonism“ of science and hermeneutics, while the second group offers perspectives for a hermeneutics of technical works. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.01 18 Hermeneutics of science Hermeneutics of technology Georg Christoph Lichtenberg Heinrich Hertz Determinacy of meaning Works and worlds Prospective models https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.1/ 1-20.pdf

Taxonomy: Reading the Biological Diversity The article deals with problem of application of the hermeneutical approach to understanding science and technology, which often faces a number of dead ends. In order to escape from them one needs a new vision of science. This helps understands science as a product of human creativity, which is hardly the representation but rather the construction of reality. Being so, it includes interests and values, aims and means, fantasies and desires. Scientific methods impose intellectual nets over nature that ascribe meanings to it. The case study of two main trends in biological systematics shows that natural biological diversity appears as a kind of unity ordered by classifications. A taxonomy grasping the structural unity represents a kind of artificial symbolic system, system of nomenclature based on the schematism of scientific imagination. Every taxonomy presents a “fictional”, non-natural, human-dimensional, artificial picture of biological reality, but it is the such pictures that makes this reality understandable. And horizons of understanding oscillate between ontological, methodological and disciplinary structures of science. The prerequisite of the hermeneutical approach to natural sciences is understanding of science as a a humanist project. And the hermeneutical approach helps in turn enrich science viewing it as a creation of man. One enters here the hermeneutical circle, which is fruitful and provocative at the same time. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.02 1: 574.1 Hermeneutics of science and technology Interpretation Science and humanism Biological diversity Biological systematics Natural-artificial Reality of taxon https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.2/ 21-30.pdf

Scientific Representation – Metaphor’s Terrain Scientific maxims are often used to describe common behaviours without any pretence of a common cause. The maxim ‘nature abhors a vacuum’ can be used to describe the distribution of molecules in a vessel or the migrations of birds. These maxims can often be replaced with other expressions (‘Brownian motion’, ‘flocking behaviour’) which can give better explanations when needed. In some cases, however, two seemingly disparate phenomena may have no better terms to account for them than those from natural language strategies. Perhaps this is because the phenomena in question are not as distant as they seem, or perhaps it is down to the fraught relationship between words and things. In the study of cooperation in biology, a great deal of research has been devoted to symbiotic relationships between plants and mycorrhizae fungi. The term used for how plants and fungi get together is ‘recognition.’ We would be inclined to say that this jargon is a pretty distant metaphor and should better rest on the more familiar biological maxim of ‘lock and key’ as analogy. I will forcefully argue that this inclination is wrong. I will also tentatively propose that the context of symbiosis has things to teach us about communication and metaphor, and maybe even ethics. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.03 81`373.612.2:00 Scientific representation Theory of metaphor Chemical recognition models Ethics of communication https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.3/ 31-48.pdf

Hermeneutics and Science: Taxonomies, Interpretations, Subjectivity This article is written in response to a position that sees hermeneutics as not just a method of interpreting texts, but rather as a fundamental cognitive strategy that opposes the scientific type of knowledge. This approach implicitly includes the ideas of the essence of science, its language and subject as consequences. In short, we can call the position which opposes hermeneutic and scientific approaches the "hermeneutic-scientific divide (HSD)" view. The purpose of this research is to examine critically the ideas of the representatives of the HSD approach to science as an area of experimentally verified interpretations, the clarity of scientific language, which eliminates the need for interpretation, and the neutrality of cognitive subjects, where scientists act as intermediaries transmitting knowledge without changing their personalities. We also aim to show that hermeneutical approaches remain an integral part of science despite science's desire for objectivity. As an argument, we propose to consider examples from the history of science. These include the dispute between Camillo Golgi and Santiago Ramón y Cajal about the structure of the nervous system; Charles Walcott's research in taxonomy and paleontology; and the debate about the phoneme between the Leningrad and Moscow schools of phonology. These cases show that even when using the same methods and data, interpretations of results can vary depending on the assumptions of researchers. They also demonstrate the impossibility of neutral, unbiased language in science. The article concludes that scientific language cannot completely avoid interpretation, despite its efforts to be objective and formal. Scientific texts always contain hidden contexts related to the historical, social and methodological conditions of their creation, as well as the value aspects of scientific work and the implicit knowledge of the author, along with his subjective assessments. Hermeneutic analysis is also essential for the formation of a scientific identity and the transmission of scientific traditions. Interpretation remains a key element in scientific knowledge, while science appears as a dynamic process in which objective data and subjective interpretations go hand in hand to form new knowledge. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.04 168 Hermeneutics Science communication Taxonomies Classifications The subject of science Experiment Interpretation https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.4/ 49-57.pdf

Hermeneutic Methods in Science Hermeneutic methods have ordinarily been used in humanities and social studies where theories and descriptions do not explain observable facts, but interpret actions, texts and cultures. However, there is a progressing tendency to synthesize methodological insights and research programs in practices of technoscience as presupposed by actor-network theory or program of integration for qualitative and quantitative methodology in sociological investigations. Alfred Nordmann is convinced that objective scientific knowledge cannot be a subject of exegesis and subject-related interpretations, because knowledge in science depends on conventional language and models as sense-making devices. Therefore, hermeneutics of science is a less coherent project than hermeneutics of technologies. This opinion is interesting to compare to pluralism of scientific descriptions, when alternative conceptual frameworks can be equally valid and justified. The aim of article, thus, is to explain hermeneutic practices in scientific communication and cognition by exposing theoretical and historical arguments which warrant the application of hermeneutic methods in research of nature. It states that, according to perspectivism in cognitive sciences, considering theories as construals, constructivist component in theories of mental modeling and interpretative semiotics, scientific models are necessarily subject-related. In addition, we can find historical evidences that hermeneutics of science is connected with Christian intellectual tradition, natural philosophy and modern technoscience. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.05 167.7 Hermeneutics of science Philosophy of language Semantics of terms Models in science Incommensurability Classifications and semantic networks https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.5/ 58-69.pdf

Hermeneutics of Science - Technical Assessments and Hidden Horizons of Meaning By writing, we inscribe the world around us and carve it into meaning. This idea of Jacques Derrida, which postulates that the function of the written text is not merely to describe but to actively create a new world, has found wide resonance across disciplines. Specifically, the article focuses on writing understood as a performative act of naming and classification – a universal mechanism of world-creation. This raises a critical question: can scientific texts, often seen as neutral descriptions of reality, also construct their own worlds, serving as horizons for creative interpretation and hermeneutic engagement? The article systematically examines arguments against applying hermeneutics to scientific texts, including their presumed transparency, reliance on empirical verification, and the formal rigidity of scientific concepts. Critics assert that scientific statements derive meaning solely from their correspondence to observable reality, leaving no room for interpretive ambiguity. However, the author counters this view by demonstrating how scientific texts, like artistic or philosophical works, generate their own contexts – whether through theoretical paradigms, “hidden worlds” of unobservable entities (e.g., atoms, social structures), or aesthetic criteria like elegance and simplicity. Examples from the history of science (e.g., Kepler’s laws, Weber’s Protestant Ethic) illustrate how scientific meaning emerges from interplay between formal statements and their interpretive horizons. Ultimately, the article advocates for a hermeneutic approach to science, revealing how scientific texts transform both their subjects and their readers, bridging the gap between empirical rigor and the creative construction of meaning. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.06 168.52 Science Hermeneutics Language Naming and Classifications https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.6/ 70-80.pdf

Hermeneutics of Science: New Metapolitics of Institutional Order This article examines the validity of the hermeneutic method in the analysis of science and technology. The scientific method is considered to be objective, rational and extra-contextual, which conceptually corresponds to the ideals of science since the Enlightenment. At the same time, the hermeneutic method, which presupposes dialogue, plurality of interpretation and deep embeddedness in the cultural context, has been considered exclusively in the methodological context of the humanities. The transformation of discussions in the philosophy of science, marked by the transition to the Kuhnian language of the self-description of science, led to a further deepening of research into questions of its institutional nature. Critical studies by Alfred Nordmann, Don Idhe, Robert Crease and Andrew Feenberg show from different angles show different facets of using hermeneutic within and beyond academia. Hierarchies, especially those that regulate institutional scientific life, use the mechanisms of metapolitical control. Notions of the institutional order of science are a result of the hermeneutic method applied to it in an obscure way. The outcomes are sociotechnical imageries, habits of thought, certain models of technological design and the public image of science as a neutral and operationally autonomous institution. The study demonstrates that this is caused by the use of the hermeneutic method as an instrument of metapolitics. Its legitimation within the framework of scientific practices, embodied in the projects of sociology of science, feminist philosophy of science and critical theory of technorationality has borne its first fruits. It is also leading to a drastic shift in the application of control mechanisms. The change in attitude towards cultural embeddedness, contextuality and the possibility of hermeneutic analysis of scientific objects and processes fundamentally restructures the scientific ethos. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.07 167.7 Institutional Order Systematics Scientific Institutes Hermeneutics Taxonomy of Science Metapolitics Technoscience https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.7/ 81-90.pdf

Soft and Hard Hermeneutics of Science and Technologies The Saqqara Bird, a small wooden figure dated to approximately 200 BCE, has sparked significant debate regarding its purpose and meaning. Initially interpreted by Khalil Messiha as evidence of ancient Egyptian knowledge of aerodynamics, this hypothesis was later refuted, with the figure now widely regarded as a weather vane. Messiha’s background as an aeromodeller influenced his interpretation, highlighting the role of personal experience and wishful thinking in shaping historical and scientific narratives. This case serves as a starting point for exploring the relationship between hermeneutics – the interpretation of meanings – and wishful thinking, particularly in the context of science and technology. The distinction between “soft” and “hard” hermeneutics is introduced. Soft hermeneutic practices are aimed to understand different meanings and connections between agents and the world, looking from the side. This distinguishes them from hard hermeneutic efforts which involve self-reflective processes that challenge our personal biases and commitments. Examples from scientific and philosophical contexts, such as Ian Mitroff’s study of moon scientists and Nancy Cartwright’s concept of “physics as theatre,” illustrate how hard hermeneutics can reveal the interplay between personal beliefs and preferences, on the one hand, and scientific practice and the construction of knowledge, on the other hand. Ultimately, hermeneutic efforts, especially in their hard form, encourage deeper self-understanding and critical reflection on the role of knowledge in shaping individual identities. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.08 141 Hermeneutics Philosophy of Science Wishful Thinking Critical Reflection Rationality Motivation https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.8/ 91-99.pdf

Hermeneutics in Research Practice The article analyzes the role of hermeneutics in science and technology. Hermeneutics involves both an attempt to interpret texts and the fact that the person changes in the process of interpretation. In normal science, hermeneutics plays a secondary role. This is due to the fact that it is built around common ideas that scientists agree with. At the same time, joining a cohort of scientists implies a transformation of the person. Thus, the learning process is associated with the need to use hermeneutic procedures. Analysis of the interaction of interdisciplinary teams shows the importance of forming at least a situational understanding between representatives of different disciplines. Its achievement requires the formation of trading zones. In them, it is possible to achieve mutual understanding, which requires the implementation of hermeneutic procedures. Scientific activity itself requires not only the interpretation of a scientific text, but also practical research activities. Hermeneutics is necessary for the interpretation of research methods presented in scientific texts. It can be based on the use of tacit knowledge. This allows us to show that the use of technical artifacts and technology in general require hermeneutic interpretation. To work with them correctly, it is necessary to master the methods of working with them, their inclusion in our life world. The example of the interface as a technological mediator when working with new information and communication technologies demonstrates that they can construct our ways of perceiving information spaces. In this case, the interface becomes not just a media, but a specific mechanism for constructing the digital world around us. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.09 801.73:001 Hermeneutics Science Technology Trading zone Practice Technoscience https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.9/ 100-108.pdf

A Call for Technological Understanding The daily experience of multistabilities of technical artefacts gives rise to the question of how we can make sense of them in the interaction. A historical and ontological review reveals that technology provides a more primordial way of knowing than science. A comparison between explanation and understanding in science demonstrates that a scientific explanation alone is insufficient for the acquisition of all knowledge. Achieving scientific understanding requires a confluence of a scientific explanation, human agency and social context. Having emerged as a key issue within the engineering-oriented philosophy of technology, the shared consensus of researches on technological explanation is that deductive reasoning is insufficient for producing a comprehensive explanation of function in terms of physical structure. Based on the pervious discussions, I introduce the notion “technological understanding” referring to sense-making in the interaction with technical artefacts in this paper. This understanding is unfixed and involves primitive, context-sensitive, re-interpretative and history-situated sense-making. A theory of technological understanding as a comprehensive exploration of human cognition should take all the conditions and factors of understanding into account. A preliminary analysis indicates that the affordances of a technical artefact, context and human agency are essential components for the technological understanding. In addition, the acknowledgement of and concern with sense-making of situated, context-sensitive meanings align with the core of hermeneutics. Therefore, taking hermeneutics of technology into account may provide productive insights for exploring technological understanding. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.10 1:62 Technological Understanding Technological Explanation Multistabilities of Technical Artefacts Hermeneutics of Technology Engineering design https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.10/ 109-126.pdf

On the Symbolic Dimension of Technology: A Phenomenological Approach Phenomenological-hermeneutic approaches to the philosophy of technology explore the world-disclosing role of technical artifacts. These approaches often lack a deeper engagement with their symbolic dimension. This paper addresses that gap by asking how the symbolic dimension of technical artifacts can shape the ways in which we relate to and disclose the world. To this end, the paper distinguishes four distinct modes in which the symbolic dimension of technical artifacts can manifest itself in experience. As demonstrated through a range of examples, the symbolic dimension may present itself in ways that either a) conceal it, b) remain in the background, c) impose themselves upon us, or d) challenge us to engage in active interpretation. As the paper argues, each mode gives rise to a different stance toward the artifact, thereby shaping the way we understand both the artifact and the world more broadly. The approach is phenomenologically motivated, which means that the vocabulary developed here must always be understood from the perspective of a subject experiencing the artifact. To clarify what is distinctive about this perspective, the paper also contrasts it with alternative approaches, such as cultural hermeneutics, which likewise addresses the symbolic dimension of technology but does so by adopting a general interpretive-theoretical stance rather than beginning from the situated experience of the subject, as the phenomenological perspective does. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.11 1:62 Technology Hermeneutics Phenomenology Symbolic Dimension of Technology Everyday Experience World Discloser https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.11/ 127-141.pdf

Hermeneutics of Technology and the Anticipation of the Future in Law This article explores the relationship between futures studies, institutional dynamics and technological development, with a particular focus on the role of hermeneutics in shaping the legal regulation of emerging technologies. Although scientific forecasting and foresight dominate the methodological framework of futures studies, these methods should be acknowledged as somewhat limited. Hermeneutics, with its emphasis on interpretation and the contextual embeddedness of meanings, offers a framework for analyzing how future visions influence technological trajectories and regulatory decisions. The article criticizes technological determinism, which often ignores the social and institutional factors that shape technological development. Instead, it promotes a coevolutionary perspective that recognizes the mutual influence of technology and society. The article discusses the idea of hermeneutic technology assessment in relation to the analysis of institutionalized ways of shaping future visions. It also analyzes the principle of anticipation in law, which aims to address the uncertainties and risks associated with new technologies by anticipating potential threats and taking into account the interests of various stakeholders. Four key institutional dimensions are identified – agents, control relationships, accountability, and resilience capacities – that shape regulatory decisions and influence the integration of different perspectives. A hermeneutic analysis that focuses on the ways in which temporal unity in the law is formed—the connection between past goals, current interests, and future concerns – can enhance the effectiveness and democratic legitimacy of regulatory decisions. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.12 167.7 Hermeneutics of technology Legal hermeneutics Future studies Legal regulation of technologies Anticipation in law https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.12/ 142-150.pdf

Techno-Contexts and the Birth of Novelty: Questioning the AI on Hermeneutics This article examines the relationship between hermeneutics and technology, focusing on how technology expands hermeneutic understanding and how hermeneutics interprets technological phenomena. Historically, hermeneutics evolved from interpreting sacred and literary texts to understanding science and technology, as seen in the works of Don Ihde and Alfred Nordmann. To test the validity of this extension of hermeneutics, the author engages with an AI assistant, asking it to generate original concepts on the hermeneutics of technology. Analyzing the AI assistant’s responses, the author identifies the framework that the AI assistant adheres to when proposing concepts for the hermeneutics of technology. The author associates this framework with the regressive transcendental argument and the retrospective explanatory approach in philosophy and sociology. This approach aims to uncover the context of the phenomenon being explained and, thereby, reveal the conditions for its possibility or the generative mechanisms behind it. From this perspective, explanation converges with hermeneutic understanding. When we attempt to explain new technological practices and phenomena, we revise and rewrite conceptual frameworks to make them capable of encompassing these new phenomena. In this way, we engage in the hermeneutic work of understanding as reinterpretation. Given this, the author’s reproach to the AI assistant – that it relies on a rather old model of philosophical explanation without introducing anything new – is not entirely fair. The participation of the AI assistant in the dialogue, as well as our interactions with neural networks, creates new contexts for us, in relation to which we construct new descriptions of the world and ourselves. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.13 004.8 Hermeneutics Background knowledge Technology AI assistants Explanation Understanding Novelty https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.13/ 151-160.pdf

A Theoretical Framework for Mobile-Assisted Language Learning in Autonomous Listening This study aims to develop a comprehensive Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) framework in autonomous listening, with the goal of enhancing learner autonomy, motivation, and listening comprehension. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving a critical review of 31 articles on prevalent theories in MALL research and five on Autonomous Language Learning (ALL) research, following Barbara Kitchenham’s guidelines. Among 33 identified theories Situated Learning Theory (SLT) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) were deemed to be the two most suitable theories for guiding mobile-assisted autonomous listening. SLT informs the design of mobile learning environments through elements such as real-world contexts, authentic activities, and social interactions, while SDT addresses learners’ psychological needs, fostering autonomy, motivation, and competence. The resulting framework synthesizes seven core elements – use of tools, real-world context, authentic activity, social interaction, autonomy, motivation, and competence – demonstrating how the integration of SLT and SDT provides a productive foundation for designing mobile-assisted autonomous listening activities. This study makes a unique contribution through its critical analysis of prior research, culminating in the first MALL framework specifically focused on autonomous listening. The framework serves as a valuable resource for educators designing effective mobile-assisted listening activities and provides future researchers with a structured foundation for advancing the field of mobile-assisted autonomous listening. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.14 81' 243:681.518 Mobile-Assisted Language Learning Autonomous Language Learning Autonomous Listening Theoretical Framework https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.14/ 162-183.pdf

A Digital Technology for Learning English Terminology through Glossary Compilation The article examines modern digital tools that enhance the effectiveness of professional foreign language acquisition by non-linguistic students. The resources presented here contribute to successful professional terminology acquisition by means of compiling specific scientific lexicons utilizing computer-aided vocabulary-building tools. The authors share the results of their practical work in Russia and present their considerations from the Russian experience regarding advantages and disadvantages of using the applications by modern students. The design encompasses a review of modern applications that can provide support in improving their vocabulary to both professional linguists and students of non-linguistic fields that help to master their language skills alongside with developing one’s academic, communicative and intercultural competencies. The applications utilized in the study are TermoStat Web, AGROVOC, WIPO Pearl, and Notion. The article depicts strong and weak points of each tool and their benefits for students. Among the most important findings is the fact that the applications tested by the authors can be used at almost any language proficiency level. Practical implication embodies the possibility of embedding the findings in the current curricula of English for Specific Purposes taught in non-linguistic Universities. The results may have significant academic and social implications making students more thoughtful about the subjects they are not well versed in and more confident and well-prepared for work in multicultural environment. The singularity of the design lies in the fact that the tested computerized instruments are considered as one of the main teaching aids and can be recommended to be widely used in the modern foreign language teaching curricula. 10.48417/technolang.2025.02.15 81'374: 81-139 Terminology Term Term extraction Text corpus Terminological system Special text Foreign language learning https://soctech.spbstu.ru/article/2025.19.15/ 184-204.pdf
