MOKSLO IR POLITIKOS AKISTATA: ĮRODYMAI, VERTYBĖS, IDEOLOGIJOS
SCIENCE – POLITICS ENCOUNTER: EVIDENCE, VALUES, IDEOLOGIES

Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the assumption that there is a correlation between the individual’s psychological setting and political attitudes and the individual’s attitude toward scientific information and the scientific community. In other words, the issue is whether the approvability of scientific data by the individual is essentially a subjective and ideological relationship between distinct scientific problems and relevant evaluative directives. I propose the following research guidelines: a) that the division of the political worldview into the conservative and the liberal reveals a propensity to explain away the political discourse as a set of opposites, and could be fine-tuned by means of neurophilosophical scepsis; b) wonders if there is a representation of science that could contribute to effective science policy-making c) also investigates if the intolerance to various political and scientific views in Western universities is solved by the considered correlation.
