装置に駆動されたイノベーション

価値評価実践としてのサイエンスが創りだすSmaller WorldとBigger World

抄録

The objective of this study is to examine science based innovation as a valuation practice. The connection between science and valuation practice has rarely been discussed in previous studies. This is because valuation practice has traditionally been considered something that demonstrates the overall true worth of the value generated by economization and the values surrounding this. Science, by contrast, is not necessarily evaluated in terms of economic value. However, value is not necessarily limited to economic value either. In fact, the positivist image of science, which seeks value that eradicates traditional and religious values, can be considered a prime example of valuation practice. Of course, valuation research aims to dismantle such a positivist image, and to do so, focuses on the apparatus that generate science. Scientific apparatus not only measure given conditions but also create what we are supposed to see. Amid such practice, this study analyzed the relationship between science and economic value, which thus far has been considered unrelated to it, alongside other values.
