Dr. Anatol Rappoport

The speaker discusses the role of science in the modern age. Science cannot continue without morality to guide it. Relying on the moral neutrality of science is analogous to asking the Cheshire Cat: “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. The “unholy alliance between science and institutionalized war” is explored. Science cannot be morally neutral.
