The article examines the phenomenon of technoscience as the defining mode of modern science within the context of an intensive technologisation of human existence. Through a historical-philosophical reconstruction of Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory and Don Ihde’s postphenomenology, it demonstrates that science has, in essence, always been technoscientific. Technological artefacts are considered not as external instruments, but as active mediators and integral elements within the network of knowledge production. The comparative analysis of these two approaches reveals their potential to overcome Cartesian dualism and to advance an understanding of the hybrid nature of scientific cognition. The work argues that conceptualising science through the prism of technoscience facilitates an adequate diagnosis of its ongoing transformations and supports the development of new epistemological and ethical standards in the digital age.
