%EDUCATION FOR SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP 850619
The welfare and security of each modern nation and
state depends upon the way in which its creative young
people are educated for scientific leadership. Science
education can lead to tragic consequences if it is not
guided by an informed understanding of what contributes to
creative scientific leadership. Ignorance and
misconceptions are not likely to lead to wise educational
policies and programs.
These essays present some observations regarding past
creative scientific leadership, in the hope of stimulating
wide ranging discussion and healthy competition towards
scientific leadership in the modern world. These essays
are written for all people who are young at heart and want
to promote both scientific creativity and human integrity.
Young people of all ages are encouraged to take advantage
of the insights these essays offer.
Scientific progress has been inhibited wherever brute
physical force has dominated. Human coercion and violence
undermine scientific creativity and integrity. The growth
of modern science is gone hand in hand with the decline of
coercive forms of human rule and government. Scientists'
conclusions are unreliable if they are arrived at by
researchers who are not free to design, conduct and
discuss experiments without fear of reprisal. They must
be free to examine carefully all the assumptions and
presuppositions which lay the foundations for the
experiment, and to discuss and publish their insights
without fear of reprisal from any quarter.
Scientific creativity is thus threatened when any
particular group or idea gains power to the exclusion of
power on the part of complementary and contrasting groups
and ideas; either within or outside the scientific
community. The integrity of scientists' theories depends
upon their promoting both the personal and communal
integrity of all persons affected by scientists'
activities. The failure to integrate profound criticisms
of scientists' activities into an integrative
understanding of scientists' activities is a sign of a
lack of integrity on the part of scientists. True
scientific leaders will be concerned regarding such
failures and lead the way to correct them.
