This article is based on the assumption that at the end of the 20th century emerged a new form of science, techno-science, which presents technological, economic, political, business, and even military dimensions apart from the strictly scientific one. Techno- science is not limited to describe or explain the world, but rather to transform it. The search for knowledges is subject to the achievement of innovations. Therefore, as well as philosophy of science is needed a philosophy of techno-science and a philosophy of innovation derived from it, because the systems of ID (research and development) are today geared to innovate. For this purpose there is to develop new lines of research: philosophy of scientific practice, philosophy of techno-culture and political philosophy of science, apart from an axiology and a praxeology of science. To argue these proposals three examples of new social and human technos-ciences are commented (cloud computing, systems of indicators and human neurosciences). Furthermore, it is proposed the notion of techno-paradigm, which regulates the contemporary techno- agendas and the way of doing science in the 21st century.
