Abstract

Right at the beginning of the 21st century an e-Science is emerging, a highly computerized electronic science which demands a new way of understanding scientific epistemology. Through Bioinformatics and Biotechnologies, the author analyzes some of the characteristics of this new e-Science and shows several problems which contemporary philosophers of science must face.
