Resumen del producto

In this essay philosophical bases for knowing why am I scientist are observed as having an unavoidable ethical connotation which aid in sizeing the romantic definitions of science and scientific method.The aphorism Gnothi seauton inscribed on the entrance of Apolo’s temple at the oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece appealed to the individual’s wisdom so that they may try to find the answer to the question that worried them. Likewise, currently it is recomended that science students and young scientists alike to ask themselves, What is science? Why practice science? What makes me scientist? Why study to be a scientist? What is scientific research? What is the scientific method? What is philosophy of science? Do I know what scientific ethics are? Of course, the answers to the above question are not easy nor simple and require comitment and conviction. Access to them demands an intelectual reflective process that begins with our scientific carreer and goes on for as long as it lasts. In return, science students will, as it should be, develope an adequate temper to legitimately question current stablishments that rely more on authority and propaganda than in scientifically based wisdom, such as anthropogenic global warming, acidification of the oceans, non-existence of scientific method, etc.
