Ethically Structured Processes

Conclusion

The deployment of effective logics is now significantly widespread throughout scientific research and technological innovation. They are only effective, active in the course of things, endowed with a transformative capacity, through their relationship, at the beginning, with a dimension of the creative possible at work in the situation. This dimension makes the formal sequence of logics into an objective process. However, a logic can, keeping its efficiency, deviate from the possible, thus losing its effectiveness, its link to a shared freedom.

Under these conditions, it can be argued that its efficiency then loses its meaning and begins, as soon as logic has deviated, to turn empty, grappling with ends that have lost all truly human meaning. The problem is that people's attachment to their particular ends makes them totally ignore the question of whether or not they are deviating with the logics they implement in relation to the creative possible (ethical innervation). How, under these conditions, can we exercise responsibility for the efficient development of research and innovation logics?

The unpredictability of the consequences of the development of a particular logic is largely insurmountable, especially in the increasingly interrelated and contingent contexts in which it takes place. It would be illusory to claim to control this aspect, even if we can try to improve our predictive capacity. Nevertheless, one can focus on the formal, objective structure of ...
