in: Olga Kiss (ed), Hermeneutics and science, Berlin, Springer, 1999Abstract
The basic position of this paper is that the theories of modern science are constructed by a selfish methodology which ensures that most scientific theories have a selfish character. A selfish theory works only for the survival of its validity. This characteristic of scientific theories harmonizes perfectly with the value preferences of modern society, the culture of modernity. Some scientific and philosophical approaches against this selfishness are herein put forward.
