5. SCIENCE
• Doing science with principles of ethics is
the bedrock of scientific activity. The
society trusts that the results and the
projected outcome of any scientific activity
is based on an honest and conscientious
attempt by the scientific community.
6. (ETHICS AND SCIENCE RELATIONSHIP)
• Ethics is an important consideration in
science. Scientific investigations must be
guided by what is right and what is
wrong. That’s where ethical rules come
in. They help ensure that science is done
safely and that scientific knowledge is
reliable.
7. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
ETHICS AND SCIENCE
• In Science we rely on observation, in Ethics we rely on
considered moral intuitions. There is little agreement
about when we should trust our ethical intuitions.
• Science is concerned with what is, whereas Ethics is
concerned what should be.
• Science, including both natural and social science, is
the realm of fact but Ethics is the realm of values.
• Science deals in empirical facts, discovering what is
the case, while Ethics deals in normative matters,
uncovering what ought to be the case
8. SIMILARITIES BETWEEN
ETHICS AND SCIENCE
• Just as the notion of knowledge and
justification.
• We gain moral knowledge in a way similar to
how we gain scientific knowledge, we have
evidence for ethical theories when these
theories can best explain our data.
