When speaking about science to scientists, there is one thing that can be said that will almost always raise their indignation, and that is that science is inherently political and that the practice of science is a political act. Science, they will【C1】______, has nothing to do with politics. But is that true?
Let’s consider the relationship between knowledge and power. "Knowledge and power go hand in hand," said Francis Bacon, "【C2】______the way to increase in power is to increase in knowledge. " At its【C3】______, science is a reliable method for creating knowledge, and thus power. Because science【C4】______the boundaries of knowledge, it pushes us to constantly【C5】______our ethics and morality, and that is always political. But【C6】______that, science constantly disrupts hierarchical power structures and vested interests in a long【C7】______to give knowledge, and thus power, to the individual, and that process is also political.
Wishing to【C8】______the painful moral and ethical analysis that their discoveries sometimes【C9】______, many scientists today see their【C10】______to be the creation of knowledge and believe they should leave the moral, ethical, and political implications to others to【C11】______out.【C12】______the practice of science itself cannot possibly be apolitical, because it takes nothing on【C13】______. The very essence of the scientific process is to question long-held assumptions about the nature of the universe, to【C14】______experiments that test those questions, and,【C15】______the observations, to gradually build knowledge that is independent【C16】______our beliefs and assumptions. A scientifically【C17】______claim is utterly transparent and can be shown to be either most probably true or false,【C18】______the claim is made by a king or a president, a pope, or a common citizen.【C19】______this, science is inherently antiauthoritarian, and a great【C20】______of political power.
