When considering knowledge acquired in both the arts and the natural sciences, can the means of production be limited by ethical judgments? Ethics is a system or set of moral principles. Ethical judgments are therefore judgments that we make about what should be, judgments based on reason or on moral principles. The pursuit of knowledge has the potential to take us to inconceivable realms of new knowledge, both in art and in the natural sciences. The exploration of knowledge is therefore an expanse of unlimited opportunities. However, I believe that ethical judgments do not limit the methods available in the production of knowledge, both in the arts and in the natural sciences. Any scientific hypothesis cannot be absolutely proven without some form of testing as proof, or until all possible oppositions are incontrovertibly refuted. We cannot be sure that all possible conflicts have been investigated and refuted. Natural sciences aim to explain and understand phenomena. In order to prove a hypothesis, it is necessary to conduct tests to provide evidence for the hypothesis. Science can therefore provide an explanation based on fair research supported by rigorous checks and balances, not just beliefs. This shows that false scientific theories can never get past proper testing without being refuted. In the mid-20th century, scientist Harry Harlow conducted experiments on maternal isolation and social isolation on baby monkeys. The baby monkeys were kept in cages, with 2 replica surrogate mothers in the form of a cloth mother and a wire mother with a bottle. Harlow studied the maternal characteristics of monkeys compared to human babies. Additionally, Harlow experienced social isolation, keeping the baby monkey...... middle of paper ...... natural sciences, ethical judgments do not limit production methods. Likewise, free expression in art subjugates ethical judgment in the method of knowledge production. Art can be related to the natural sciences, where the natural sciences seek to provide knowledge, art seeks to represent knowledge, in a way that appeals to our senses. Cocteau (1918: 11) sums up this idea well when he says: “Art is science made clear”. '. In order to create a representation of raw reality, to express knowledge, one must create art. The methods of knowledge production in art are not considered ethically, because art is a representation of raw reality. If ethics were taken into account in artistic creation, then art would have a different meaning. Thus, ethical judgments do not limit the methods available for knowledge production in both the arts and the natural sciences...
