Socio-Economic Philosophy of Science: The Message to Public
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Science is believed to be a mute servant of the society, catering to the needs, comforts and pleasures of human beings. It was thought that science, the material power, had nothing to contribute to the value system of life. „Equality‟ of groups and sections of the people all over the world was the ideology of a politician or a social reformer, and science had nothing to say either for or against. Scientific discoveries over millennium, however, reinforced the theory of „equality of people‟ and a just order. Further, the technological production alone guaranteed the „rights of all people‟ in a democratic society. The message of science was thus, proved to be „egalitarian‟ in essence.
