This was Bernal s attempt to ensure that science would no longer be just a protected area of intellectual inquiry, but would have as an inherent function the improvement of life for mankind everywhere. It was a groundbreaking treatise both in exploring the scope of science and technology in fashioning public policy, with Bernal arguing that science is the chief agent of change in society, and in devising policies that would optimize the way science was organized. The sense of impending war clearly emerges. He deplored the application of scientific discoveries in making war ever more destructive, while acknowledging that the majority of scientific and technical breakthroughs have their origins in military exigencies.

About this title

Synopsis

Son birka� yıl i�inde yaşananlar bilimin toplumsal işlevinin sorgulanmasına yol a�tı. Yakın zamanlara dek bilimsel araştırmanın sonu�larının yaşam koşullarında s�rekli bir ilerleme ve iyileşme getireceğine inanılırdı. Fakat �nce savaş [I. D�nya Savaşı], ardından ekonomik kriz (1929 B�y�k Bunalımı) bilimin pekala yıkıcı ve yararsız ama�lar doğrultusunda da kullanılabileceğini g�sterdi ve katlanılabilir bir uygarlığı korumak i�in bilimsel araştırmaların durdurulmasını talep eden sesler y�kselmeye başladı. Bilim insanlarının kendileri de bu eleştirilerle y�zleştiler ve belki de ilk defa yaptıkları işin, �evrelerinde cereyan eden toplumsal ve ekonomik gelişmelerle nasıl bir ilişki olduğunu d�ş�nmek zorunda kaldılar. Bu kitap s�z konusu bu ilişkiyi analiz etme, bilim insanlarının gerek bireysel, gerek kolektif olarak taşıdıkları sorumluluğu sorgulama ve bilimin yıkıcı değil verimli olabilmesi i�in hangi olası adımların atılması gerektiğini g�sterme �abasıdır.
