Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Science
  • Ethics in Science
  • Sociology of Science

Background:

  • The scientific community has historically operated under a "no ethics" principle, hindering ethical deliberation.
  • This principle stems from a historical detachment from human dignity, where science assumed authority over judgments of life's worth.
  • Existing scientific ethos is based on prevalent value preferences and repugnances within the scientific community.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine the
  • no ethics
  • principle in science.
  • To propose a new foundation for science ethics based on respect for human dignity.
  • To articulate an ethical duty specific to scientific practice, namely the respect for objective truth.

Main Methods:

  • Philosophical analysis of the historical development of science ethics.
  • Examination of Karl Popper's ethical principles for scientific practice.
  • Critique of the
  • no ethics
  • principle through the lens of human dignity and epistemic integrity.

Main Results:

  • The
  • no ethics
  • principle is rooted in a historical aversion to human dignity.
  • Respect for human dignity, defined as absolute inner worth, provides a robust foundation for science ethics.
  • Respect for objective truth emerges as a key ethical duty for scientists, integral to epistemic integrity.

Conclusions:

  • Adopting respect for human dignity and objective truth as core principles can counteract the detrimental
  • no ethics
  • stance in science.
  • These ethical principles are crucial for maintaining the integrity of scientific knowledge, particularly in fields like behavioral genetics.
  • Upholding these ethical standards is essential for the credibility and trustworthiness of scientific endeavors.
