ETHICS OF RESPONSIBILITY IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND INNOVATION: A GLOBAL AND NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The ethical dimension of scientific research and its relevance to socio-cultural transformations is traditional for philosophical discourse, however, for Ukrainian philosophy, the resolution of global and local contradictions in the development of the scientific sphere is of particular importance. The question of the ethical foundation of conducting scientific research and developing innovations, the balance between the search for scientific solutions for specific scientific problems, and the ethos of civilizational responsibility, inclusion in the civilizational agenda with its corresponding regulatory procedures, is debatable in the global research space. Modern social turbulence leaves its mark on the field of scientific and innovative activity, which requires the adoption of an updated value paradigm in response to these challenges (global — Industry 4.0, sustainable development, etc. ); national — military aggression, political modernization, etc. ). It was possible to demonstrate that the concept of «responsible research and innovation», not only at the level of political declarations, but also of social practice, can act as a basis for the development of the Ukrainian sphere of science and innovative development. The real practice of implementing the ethos of responsibility in the field of science and innovation requires not only a developed state policy, but also an update of the key provisions of the philosophy of education in the field of training scientifically gifted youth.
