Résumé

Every civilization rises on the power of discovery. But the same force that illuminates truth can also cast the darkest shadows."The Ethics of Discovery: When Science Becomes Selfish" is a sweeping, deeply human exploration of what happens when knowledge loses its conscience. In ten thought-provoking chapters and a lyrical epilogue, this book examines how science - once a humble dialogue with nature - became a stage for ego, politics, and profit.
It traces humanity's moral evolution from the sacred curiosity of ancient thinkers to the ruthless innovation of modern empires, showing how the hunger to understand slowly became the hunger to own. Each chapter peels back a layer of our moral blindness:. The transformation of curiosity into conquest. The rise of the celebrity scientist and the culture of recognition. The commercialization of research - when saving became selling.
The manipulation of nature, life, and even consciousness itself. The forgotten victims of "progress" - humans, animals, and ecosystems left behind. The invisible ethics of data, AI, and surveillance. The death of doubt - how science has begun to mirror the dogmas it once opposed. The politics of pride - when nations turn discovery into a weapon. The quiet question of our time: can technology ever restore the morality it has eroded?Written in an elegant, reflective style that blends history, philosophy, and storytelling, this book challenges the reader to look beyond the brilliance of discovery and see the responsibility beneath it.
It reveals how ego, competition, and commercial ambition have reshaped the scientist's role - from seeker of truth to custodian of influence. But this is not a book of despair. It is a call to renewal - a reminder that ethics and innovation need not be enemies. It invites readers to imagine a new kind of science: one rooted in humility, collaboration, and reverence for life. Through its pages, you'll meet the forgotten pioneers erased by history, the victims of unethical research, the modern engineers confronting digital power, and the philosophers who insist that true knowledge must still serve compassion."The Ethics of Discovery" ends not with condemnation but with hope - a return to the wonder that began it all.
It argues that science's greatest power lies not in its ability to create, but in its willingness to care. The future, it reminds us, will not be shaped by what we invent, but by what we choose to protect. For readers who admire works like Sapiens, The Demon-Haunted World, and The Moral Landscape, this book offers both intellectual challenge and emotional clarity. It will resonate with anyone who believes that progress must be measured not only by innovation but by integrity.
Because discovery, at its best, is not about conquering the unknown -it's about remembering what it means to be human.
