"Some among the fundamental science practitioners, influenced by philosophers of science, denounce the very fact that the current system is merely self-sustaining. And it does not necessarily reveal solutions to the urgent problems that societies would need to address" http://euroscientist.com/ethics/
Disagree.
The statement may apply to a very small group of researchers.
This is bound to happen - as in any walk of life.
There will always be some bad people or factors but it is unfair to generalize whole of it for those few.
Thank you, Dr. Shah, for your answer!
Just one clarification: with "a small group" you refer to those who denounce this situation, or do you mean that only a small group don't care about the solutions to societal challenges?
thank you!
