Science and technology: Facing uncertainties based on ethical values

Resumo

This article aims to reflect on the uncertainties present in scientific and technological development from the perspective of ethics. Through  a bibliographic research, of analytical-interpretative character, it was sought to answer the importance of ethical values to face the uncertainties present in science and technology with a view to the sustainable survival of society. As a result, it was found that there is no certainty in any aspect of science and technology and, in the face of uncertainties, ethics and the philosophy of science contribute to the understanding of the individual, collective and global ethical dimension, in search of a transformative process with regard to the purposes of science and technology, which favors progress and the production of necessary and socially relevant knowledge.
