Abstract:
To be a scientist is to make an implicit ethical commitment: to try to tell the truth about the world. The managerial model of research, which is the ideological foundation of modern political reforms of the research system around the world, stands in direct conflict with this assertion. It consists in identifying the scientist with a homo economicus looking to maximize its own profit, which a bureaucracy is tasked to align with performance objectives. This model is incoherent and destructive. Science is made possible by curiosity, emulation and intellectual ethics. These are the human traits that a rational research organization should try to favor and exploit.
