What kind of science do we need today and tomorrow? In a game that
knows no boundaries, a game that contaminates science, democracy
and the market economy, how can we distinguish true needs from
simple of fashion? How can we distinguish between necessity and
fancy? whims How can we differentiate conviction from opinion? What
is the meaning of this all? Where is the civilizing project? Where
is the universal outlook of the minds that might be capable of
counteracting the global reach of the market? Where is the common
ground that links each of us to the other? We need the kind of
science that can live up to this need for univer sality, the kind
of science that can answer these questions. We need a new kind of
knowledge, a new awareness that can bring about the creative
destruction of certainties. Old ideas, dogmas, and out-dated
paradigms must be destroyed in order to build new knowledge of a
type that is more socially robust, more scientifically reliable,
stable and above all better able to express our needs, values and
dreams. What is more, this new kind of knowledge, which will be
challenged in turn by ideas yet to come, will prove its true worth
by demonstrating its capacity to dialogue with these ideas and grow
with them."
