  • Essay / Ethical Implications in the Sciences and Arts

    The question of knowledge involves identifying and discussing ethical implications that might interfere with the production of knowledge in the natural sciences and the arts. Ethics is defined as the moral principles that govern the behaviors and actions of a person or group towards a certain subject. Ethical implications are the ethical issues that a certain action would have. This particular essay title addresses the areas of knowledge of natural sciences, arts, and ethics. Many knowledge questions can be associated with this topic, such as "To what extent do ethical judgments interfere with the way art expresses emotions and disseminates knowledge?" and “To what extent do ethical judgments limit the development of research and experimentation in a certain area.” in the natural sciences? By answering these knowledge problems individually, it is possible to answer the main question. To address the above knowledge issues, this essay will explain what ethical judgments are and why they are made and how they relate to ways of knowing. Ethical judgments involve thinking about what the overall outcome and possible action of a certain situation might be, and then judging which action is most appropriate by relating it to ethics. This can be linked to three modes of knowing: reason, emotion and sensory perception.

One might disagree with animal testing and consider it unethical because one cares about animals, therefore using emotion to judge something ethically. Sensory perception ... middle of paper ... because they are trying to make a change in this world. There is also another similarity between them; they are both victims of ethical judgments. The natural sciences have been affected by these ethical judgments in such a way that they have been prevented from developing their ideas and theories and have been limited in certain experiments, and the arts have been affected in such a way that their manner of expressing their emotions was limited. and the dissemination of knowledge from these works of art has also been limited. However, ethically questionable situations can also influence and inspire artists to create works of art. This means that ethical judgments significantly limit the methods available for knowledge production in the natural sciences. However, this does not limit knowledge production in the arts, but rather increases the methods of knowledge production in the arts..
