Abstract
The purpose of this essay is to formulate historical-descriptive and epistemological premises for information science, using some elements from the philosophy of technology, and presenting e-science as a contemporary information phenomenon. As a field of studies, information science needs to be dedicated to technological questions that enable the creation of a new class of epistemology based on philosophy: techno-epistemology. This can be justified by the usefulness of information science in reviewing how the frontiers of its field of knowledge are delineated and looking into the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaboration. This essay also emphasizes the limitations that an epistemology grounded on historical-descriptive narratives would impose on the progress of information science as it approaches a new informational phenomenon, in this case, e-science.
