Humanizing Science and Technology

Science, according to the American philosopher, Carl Hempel, is an ordered system of knowledge in various connections, by laws or theoretical principles.

What has the relationship between science and humanism been in the past? The first aspired to a total separation between subject and object, and to an objectivity of knowledge,
while the second dispensed with the close link between them, reaching a subjectivity.

We have seen the marked differences between science and humanism, differences described as "the conflict between the humanistic world and the scientific world" by the English writer and author, Aldous Huxley, but a combination of ethics, socialization and responsible intelligence, can make it happen. scientific and technological take a course where the hypothetical alien agent of Dr. Wilson, is more interested in learning about science and technology (from now on, C and T), due to the lack of such conflict.

The humanities are also science, and encompass a number of disciplines related to human culture. The human sciences try to complete the study of humanity including in it the evolutionary origin, the characteristics and behavior of the human being, its structure and functioning, as individuals and as a society. Perhaps the social behavior of the human being is key in keeping science humanized, and can also be applied to what we call technology.

Science, according to the American philosopher, Carl Hempel, is an ordered system of knowledge in various connections, by laws or theoretical principles. The social (humanistic) in science was included by the French Auguste Comte, creator of Sociology, when he comments on the following: “We now have a celestial physics, a mechanical or chemical terrestrial physics, a plant physics and an animal physics; we still need one more and the last, social physics, to complete the system of our knowledge of nature ”.

Science and technology can become more humane than it already turns out to be, but how do we achieve this? It all has to do with the knowledge acquired in our daily lives. For this reason, it must reflect a social responsibility in all those involved in science and technology, especially in ethical behavior, since this must constitute the normal framework of all human action, as mentioned by Mario Solarte in his work Moral and ethics of what public.  

A responsibility towards society by science and technology brings us closer to ethics, contributes to the social benefit of our research and can make us discover much more than we already know, because science is seeing is believing and many times with it. humanism, we believe in order to have the ability to see a better world.
