The article is devoted to the problem of the unity of science and technology in the semantic and cultural context, which was formed in the 16–17th centuries. This time discovers the concept of subiectum, which indicates the metamorphosis of the human self, a change in values, attitudes of consciousness, giving rise to rationality and the phenomenon of science. It is the subiectum that becomes a kind of foundation under which both the internal and external experience of a person are brought. Experience presupposes, first of all, an activity that can be both mental in nature and manifest itself in acts, deeds, actions. Technology regulates the order of new activity, its sequence, abstractness, measurability, etc. The author believes that the subiectum becomes the source of the unity of science and technology, revealing itself as the will to change the inner self-understanding, activity, the will to instrumentality.

Work has recently begun in the Physics Department of the Manchester College of Science and Technology on an attempt to simulate lunar luminescence in the laboratory. This programme is running parallel with that of our colleagues in the Manchester University Astronomy Department, who are making observations of the luminescent spectrum of the Moon itself. Our instruments are as yet only partly completed, but we will describe briefly what they are to consist of, in the hope that we may benefit from the comments of others in the same field, and arrange to co-ordinate our work with theirs.
