لا بد قبل التمكن من العلم و الدخول الى مجال العلم و المعرفة
ان تتمكن من الاخلاق
هذا الكتاب يتكلم عن الاخلاق بمنظور فلسفي و علمي
حيث تكلم عن ارتباط الاخلاق بالعلم
و ضرورة هذا الارتباط حتى في ميادين اخرى

This is far from being the most engaging pieces, but it is super insightful for those in the scientific community – or even those who are simply interested in science. It’s to the point, mostly concise, and easy enough to get through.

I’d certainly recommend it to the scientists out there, especially those earlier in their career.

Örnek havuzunu önemli buldum.
Ne var ki kitapta "bilim adamı" denmesi beni okurken son derece huzursuz etti. Yeni baskılarda düzeltemiyorlar mı?

A good introduction to the ethics of science. Most will find the material dry, but if you are a scientist, you will appreciate how Resnik puts into words the actions that make science ethical and moral. I also appreciate his development over the years, leading to his very best work, The Price of Truth.
