The paradigm is rooted in separation, fragmentation, analysis, disintegration and dichotomies; not in integration. Personal and communal integrity are not central concerns of scientists. Objectification, manipulation, control, quantification, analysis, separation, disintegration, and fragmentation are all characteristic activities of scientists. Wise consideration of issues relating to values and ideals must involve consideration of personal and communal integrity. Such considerations cannot be wisely rooted in separation, fragmentation, analysis and disintegration. Thus our scientists' paradigm does not include within itself appropriate roots for the wise assessment of the value of the paradigm. Our scientists' paradigm contains within it principles which lead scientists away from the kinds of considerations which are essential to any wise assessment of the value of our scientists' paradigm. The paradigm is not merely value neutral; it is of such a character as to obscure clear definitions of issues having to do with values and ideals. While ostensibly being value neutral; not concerned with values, our scientists' paradigm in practice leads scientists to set priorities with regards to the spending of time and energy on the part of some of our most intelligent citizens. Leading the setting of priorities with regards to the spending of any scarce resource is a value laden activity. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
