Ethical Judgments Limit the Pursuit of Knowledge

"Justification of final proving means" is a famous quotation of Machiavelli (Viroli, 1998), morality is focused on the outcome of the result, not the action taken to achieve them. Whether this also applies to natural science. The atomic bomb as a means of ending World War II proved that deaths of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were justified. What is the moral limit of learning knowledge in natural science? How is art restricted by moral judgment? It is suitable for all kinds of art work.

Human beings create moral standards and we make moral judgments and concepts equivalent to our personal emotions, religion, laws, or social systems. Moral judgment limits the methods used in art and science to enforce ethical principles. Some people think that knowledge is limited when morally judging everything, so it is worth knowing. Certainly, moral judgment will lead artists and scientists to manipulate their programs to meet ethical requirements, but especially when art and experiment pose ethical problems, this is the pursuit of knowledge It is not limited.

When making moral decisions about scientists and researchers, further responsibility of ethics is their knowledge journey. A few months ago, I was asked to copy the experiment "Stroop effect". Before actually conducting the experiment, I noticed that the title emphasizes the obligation to comply with ethical guidelines such as preparation of consent form, provision of a good test environment, report to participants to obtain passing points . Knowing this, I focused mainly on trying to follow the ethical code that made my experiment longer. Meanwhile, obeying the Code of Ethics does not limit my understanding of the experiment. Compliance with moral norms actually shaped my experimental method, but it does not limit the pursuit of knowledge. There is a controversial question about whether science should be separated from religion; religion can replace morality as it comes from religion

In today's scientific world, pursuit of knowledge has many moral dilemmas and moral arguments. It seems like common sense, but there was an era of scientific ethics not yet defined. Of course, the philosophers of the Galilean era did not care what moral principles had had on their studies of stars and the universe. But in the early nineteenth century, when scientists started to discover in chemistry, physics, biology, many people began to wonder where to draw moral boundaries.
