- Abstract
The relationship between science and evil is polyhedral and complex. In addition to having evil as an object of study, we can understand technoscience as an attempt to overcome evil as a threat to survival. Science would respond to the need to understand evil and anticipate it, while technology would be the attempt to limit its consequences. According to some authors, mainly in technooptimistic contexts, technoscience will end up overcoming all material scarcity and with it also social evil. In addition, we can recognize values that underlie scientific development despite an appearance of neutrality that sometimes presents specific technologies as developments at the service of evil. Technoscience also appears at the origin of structures of sin that it is important to understand in order to overcome them. Better understanding the relationships between science and evil can help us build a humanizing techno-scientific program that brings us closer to our goals as a society.
