Curiosity, our deepest inner intellectual need and concern brought about what we today call science. This Article will try to address the problem of the interrelation between politics and science. There is no need to discuss which of the two came first, but rather the real question is to what extent can science influence the political process? Can it help proper decision-making and, if it can, to what extent? Decision-making is most often prefixed with the term political. Can the intellectual class representing the world of science have an influence on political decision-making? As C. Wright Mills rightly noticed, if an intellectual is a knowledgeable individual, he will not opt for any particular political direction. An intellectual’s politics is, therefore, the politics of truth. Does an intellectual have a legitimate right (or not) to be active in practical politics? Should not the enormous body of knowledge that science has accumulated in the intervening centuries be harnessed to the ordering and governing of society? Perhaps, but the paradox that then emerges is the harsh reality that this corpus of knowledge that science has provided to mankind in the past centuries has not been able, to date, prevent widescale violence and decadence. This is one of the biggest paradoxes of civilized society and the key issue that this Article will attempt to address.
