A new nature that comes from Science and Society

The changes that our society is going through nowadays, brought about by its dynamic relationship with science and technology, requires a new philosophy, a new ethic, a new symbolic universe, in order to understand this dynamism and above all to intervene in the direction in which science is leading society. This paper offers a new view of science and ethics based on the Philosophy of Organism. Based on this philosophy, ethics necessarily focuses on the rational subject; action constitutes its being and its environment. This article emphasises the powerful influence of science and technology in forming our current society, and the need to direct its development. The importance of nanoscience and nanotechnologies are mentioned as an important factor in determining the current changes in our society, and we postulate the urgent intervention of society in order to direct them based on a philosophical reflection.
