Abstract

Ethical issues are becoming increasingly central to contemporary philosophy of science. This is evidence of a change in the nature and forms of activity of scientific communities. This also shows the presence of a certain crisis in science itself, because its own methods are not enough to solve the growing problems. The article offers an analysis of some of the problems for which scientists turn to deontological ethics: the reliability of the results of scientific research, the influence of values on ongoing research, the responsibility of the scientist.

Keywords: Philosophy of science; Scientific knowledge; Ethics; Reliability; Value
