The Importance of Ethics
in Innovation Innovation
is one of the most important characteristics of activity, the importance of
which is growing in parallel with the expansion of the scale of scientific and
technological progress. It should be pointed out that at present in the world
about 70% of the growth in gross domestic product falls on the share of new
knowledge embodied in innovative production and management technologies.

For the
first time, in the middle of the 20th century, the founders of the Club of Rome
announced the moral side of the innovative development of civilization in the
work "Limits to Growth", which has now become classic in terms of
understanding various kinds of dangers derived from innovation, including
ethical dangers.

J.
Schumpeter was the first to define innovation. The researcher applied this
concept not to any change, but only and solely to one that was made for the
purpose of introducing and using new types of consumer goods, new production,
vehicles, markets and forms of organization in industry.

Of course,
since the beginning of the last century J. Schumpeter published his main work
[1], the definition of innovation has varied, although not fundamentally.

A fact that
deserves mention in the historical and philosophical approach to the study of
the phenomenon is that it was J. Schumpeter who not only introduced the term
“innovation” into scientific circulation, but also stimulated the study of it
as a complex process [2].

It should
be noted that at present the problem of innovations is consistently considered
and analyzed with the help of humanitarian and scientific tools — most of all
in the spheres of economics, politics and education. Nevertheless, fixing the
range of scientific works on this topic, one cannot fail to note the rarity
and, most importantly, the obvious incompleteness of domestic studies of the
phenomenon of innovation in its connection with ethical rule-making.

And this is
quite understandable, since the first steps of most research directions, as the
history of natural science and technology shows, are quite rarely associated
with an analysis of the ethical foundations of the subject being studied.

Only from
this time — the time of broad (within society) discussions of the moral and
ethical facets of the phenomenon — does the study of the ethical boundaries of
innovation begin.

Let us
dwell in more detail on the pre-innovation stage of the history of civilization.

Antiquity.

During this
period, a number of outstanding discoveries were made that can be considered innovations
in relation to that time: for example, dialectics, Socrates’ maieutics,
Aristotle’s logic, etc.).

Let’s pay
attention to the following: for all their significance, these discoveries did
not go beyond the sphere of theoretical activity. This is undoubtedly due to
the low status of the practical sphere of work in Antiquity.

Middle
Ages.
