Abstract:
Scientific knowledge and philosophic knowledge have an ethical responsibility that should not be disregarded. This observation made by scholar-philosophers such as Henri Poincaré and Federigo Enriques has experienced an importance of which 20(th) century epistemology has been unaware. It is important to relaunch this observation in the name of older values: equality, democracy, openness, research without dogmatic boundaries. The analysis of the work of Enriques enables us to grasp the stakes of such an endeavor.
