 ROBERT MERTON
Meyer Robert Schkonick - questo il vero nome di Robert King Merton - nasce il 5 luglio (ma alcune biografie riportano il 4 luglio) del 1910 a Philadelphia, da una famiglia di immigranti est-europei residenti in uno dei quartieri poveri (i cosiddetti slum) della città.
Merton compie gli studi dapprima alla Temple University - dove si diploma brillantemente nel 1931, mostrando un interesse per la filosofia -, e in seguito presso l’Università di Harvard, dove consegue il dottorato nel 1936, sotto la guida del sociologo funzionalista Talcott Parsons, con una dissertazione sulla scienza e l’economia nell’Inghilterra del XVII secolo.
Nella comunità scientifica Merton individua un ethos specifico che si fonda sul valore chiave attribuito al dubbio sistematico, sul fatto che ogni affermazione sia verificabile intersoggettivamente, sul dialogo aperto tra gli scienziati, sulla disponibilità universale di ogni ricerca, sulla valutazione di uno scienziato in relazione esclusivamente ai meriti del proprio lavoro.

 Robert Carhart Merton - Wikipédia
Robert Merton tinha uma visão bastante humanista sobre a função social da ciência, sendo bastante influenciado pelas teorias sociais de Max Weber.
Para Merton, a ciência é um conjunto de conhecimentos compartilhados por toda uma sociedade, a qual julga a credibilidade da verdade científica de acordo com suas expectativas e valores éticos e morais próprios.
A “boa ciência” de Merton teria condições de se manter íntegra, livre e independente, graças ao cumprimento de seus valores institucionais, o que colocaria a Ciência acima de qualquer forma de conflito social e tornaria possível a realização da causa final da Ciência, ou seja, a melhoria da sociedade.

Discarding the Bush administration's conspiracy theory, the panel will present a myriad of anomalies that surround 9/11 and frankly discuss the possibility that 9/11 was a "False-Flag" operation conducted with the complicity of the current administration.
The panel will feature Democratic Congressional candidate for Fllorida's 15th: Col Robert Bowman, Physics Professor Steven E Jones of BYU, Professor James Fetzer, author of "George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography" Webster Griffin Tarpley, and will be hosted by controversial radio jock, Alex Jones.
Please tune in and find out why 42% (and climbing) of those polled by Zogby "believe that the US government and its 9/11 Commission concealed or refused to investigate critical evidence that contradicts their official explanation of the September 11th attacks, saying there has been a cover-up."
