Uma relação entre ética e ciência

Abstract

When we seek a dialog between ethics and science we are confronted with various paths. Science reveals itself in its supremacy as holder of knowledge. Ethics manifests itself trying to ponder and mediate the relations between scientific knowledge and the external environment, the social. We observe that the two sciences present completely peculiar characteristics while at the same time they seek an intrinsic and necessary dialog. There is a need to socialize science. For this, the means is education. The scientific language must be popularized, that is, it must permit accessibility, comprehension and apprehension of itself. Historically, science has assumed an elitist identity, retaining knowledge for a specific caste. There is a need for encouraging research and knowledge in a dialogical and ethical way.
