Abstract We propose a reflection on the construction of scientific knowledge and in so doing an image of this knowledge. This will allow us to develop a comparative analysis of some of the main principles underpinning the constitution of the different sciences. We will highlight the role of critical thought in science, or even “negative results,” which pose limits and hence open new trajectories. In particular, we will address a misleading point of view, based on some informal concepts taken from computer science, which dominates the biological imaginary. An “ethics of knowledge” will follow, as a critical and open perspective, capable of taking on the well-intentioned responsibility of proposing universal, though not absolute, principles of knowledge.

科学思想与绝对

摘要 我们建议对科学知识的构建进行反思，并以此构建这种知识的形象。这将使我们能够对支撑不同科学构成的一些主要原则进行比较分析。我们将强调批判性思维在科学中的作用，甚至是“负面结果”，它们构成了限制，从而开辟了新的轨迹。特别是，我们将基于一些从计算机科学中获取的非正式概念来解决一个误导性的观点，这些概念在生物想象中占主导地位。随之而来的“知识伦理”将作为一种批判性和开放性的视角，能够承担提出普遍但不是绝对的知识原则的善意责任。
