Biology and Social Responsibility
My starting point is a familiar, simple one: the natural sciences are simultaneously products of social forces and of individual scientists' curiosity awakened and channeled by these forces. Both of these facets must be kept in mind in analyzing the history of science and in planning for its future. In this paper I will explore this dual nature of science, at a general philosophical level and in the specific instance of modern biology, which in t…
Commentary
For basic researchers in many parts of biology, intellectual atmosphere is heady. Progress in unravelling fundamental biological mysteries has been rapid and intense; moreover, it is gratifying and reassuring to many biologists that work carried out primarily in academic laboratories seems to be leading to substantial, practical, social benefits. Compared to many other government-funded programs, basic research is also relatively well-funded. The…
