Informed adaptation: Ethical considerations for adaptation researchers and decision-makers
2015, Global Environmental ChangeCitation Excerpt :Questions about the goals of science and whether scientists and researchers can be considered a professional group in this regard have been subject to a long and robust debate (e.g. Bush, 1945; Polanyi, 1962; Rip, 1994; Toulmin, 1964; Weinberg, 1970, 1972; Wilson, 1991). According to Airaksinen (2012), if the overarching goal of science is simply to advance the state of scientific knowledge, while this may have some benefit to humanity, it tends to remain logically independent of any direct commitment to advancing the public good. This approach represents what we might associate with pure or basic research where the greater good is defined as the advancement of knowledge for its own sake.
