I am getting dumb-funded by the obvious senseless thinking in the title:
Science is about the mechanisms of natural worlds. It's the foundation of human civilization. It's the basis of human thoughts and the ideology etc.
To say Science must respect dignity and rights of all humans, it's like to say nature must respect the dignity and rights of all humans. But Science is the rendition of natural world's mechanisms, they do not have personality and emotions. They cannot respect anything!
It's reasonable to say "scientists must respect the dignity and rights of all humans". It's senseless to say Science must respect the dignity and rights of all humans.
- tayistay 4y agoScience is a human endeavor. They didn’t say the laws of nature must respect dignity/rights of humans.
- bowsamic 4y agoScience is built in the minds of the humans though. You should read Kant. It’s never going to be possible to get away from our synthetic a priori constructions of space, time, causality, etc. and no, Hegel doesn’t solve this either
