%X in a society increasingly based on the intensive use of knowledge and at a time when the post-modern discourse focuses on the de-construction of liberal citizenship and favors the construction of "new" dimensions of citizenship, a new social, technological matrix of science is surfacing, cutting with the positivist paradigm that has underlain modern science and citizenship. when techno-science has become the object of social conflict and political debate and when "civilizing" science and "scientifying" citizenship are conditions for promoting a less arrogant science and a more democratic citizenship, sts education arises as a hope. the construction of a cultural, critical and active citizenship requires as its epistemological strategy sts conceptualizations and rationalities that, before a potent cognitive force - the solidarity of knowledge - repositions being through knowing.
