Resumo

Following french sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice, this brief essay looks at scientific and technological production from two perspectives: as a scientific field and as a political field. As a political field, science is a competitive situation, in which a number of agents vie to provide the best representation for many or all citizens. But scientific research, as well as its products distributed through the markctplace, must always be e000valuated according to ethical principles. Ethics, here, is understood from a social perspective and not from the perspective of realizing individual values. In this sense, science cannot neglect the centrality of men and women as physical, spiritual, cultural and political totalities; the environmental conditions in which these men and women live; and the urgency of reaching an intercultural understanding of society.
