Scientific freedom is the idea of freedom (in the sense of Freedom of thought and Freedom of the press) applied to natural science, in particular the practices of scientific research and discourse, mainly by publication. The ideal is promoted by many organizations of scientists, and is the subject of article 15 ΒΆ 3 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. One classic defence of the idea is in Michael Polanyi's book, Personal Knowledge (1958). Polanyi criticized the common view that the scientific method is purely objective and generates objective knowledge. Polanyi cast this view as a misunderstanding of the scientific method and of the nature of scientific inquiry, generally. He argued that scientists do and must follow personal passions in appraising facts and in determining which scientific questions to investigate. He concluded that a structure of liberty is essential for the advancement of science - that the freedom to pursue science for its own sake is a prerequisite for the production of knowledge through peer review and the scientific method. Polanyi subsequently co-founded the Society for Freedom in Science. From Wikipedia under the

His book, 'An Evil Cradling', shows profound insights into the zealous Islamic minds of his captors. He noted that they were obsessed with watching violent Western movies of the Rambo type, imagining that this is how Western society really is! One pointed to Telly Savalas, with his cigar in his mouth, and asked, "This Churchill, yes?" Says it all. He also noted how obsessed his captors were with sex. Needless to say, their video intake was equally full of scantily clad Western females. Because they relate sex with power and masculinity, they seem to be envious of Western sexuality, yet revulsed also by its extremes. Basically, they are utterly confused due to… [cont.] Answered by Sasi - Mon Jun 1 03:24:03 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Scientific freedom" |
