The role of love and compassion in scientific processes

Yıl 2025, Cilt: 3 Sayı: 5, 44 - 64, 01.06.2025

Öz

Science, beyond being a mechanism for the production of knowledge, is the key to societal welfare and sustainability. However, it is a reality that science, when not integrated with human values such as love and compassion, can lead to ethical problems. This paper discusses the integration of love and compassion into scientific processes. The study examines human-centered and nature-focused approaches in the context of the influence of love and compassion on science, and discusses the contribution of ethical rules to scientific outcomes. The study is based on a literature review and qualitative research methods conducted between 1978 and 2023, and provides recommendations on how love-based scientific practices can enhance societal benefits.
