What is the proper attitude in the pursuit of knowledge?

The search for knowledge should be started in a humble attitude. Humility because we are fallible. "True knowledge is a loving ..." will probably mean that one is able only through the eyes of love, ANYTHING to accept what may appear on this journey of knowledge and will. A total dedication to the life I think this is important. Responsibility and respect are a guarantee that you are well considering how to deal with his (alleged) knowledge then deal .... The cocktail would thus include: modesty love devotion responsibility respect let's not forget the thoughtfulness! ...... and well-tempered always nice

Very interesting . Here is a spontaneous response to some of its aspects: With the loving knowledge I can do little. Firstly, I lack the context of this utterance (love for what), the other is the love that she's so likeable, often been the cause of tragic actions and decisions. Absolute freedom ideology is m. E. theoretically perhaps, but hardly attainable in practice. Depends of course the definition. But the scientists I know do not start with Adam and Eve, but formulate their hypotheses based on theories and attitudes that they have not ever questioned. One can spend in one life while not exhaustive, and the differentiations of the basic questions or further developments. The question of what attitude we should adopt towards the findings and their implications is, to a limited extent. Since we do not act as a collective, researchers are in a competitive situation. In a philosophical thought experiment, it may happen that a researcher discovers something that could alter or even obliterate the human race permanently and he faces the question of whether he wants to make its findings public. In fact, this is not given. We have strict limits in D relative to genetic research. This does not prevent the development of genetic engineering methods, instead we rely on knowledge from other countries. Knowledge can not be stopped. Finally, a personal assessment, which could possibly turn out to be erroneous in the shortest possible time: There is the understandable assumption that our moral development not keeping pace with the technological step. Therefore, we can arrive at insights that are highly dangerous and ultimately mean our ruin, or at least can have tragic consequences (classic example: the "dirty bomb"). But just to show ME the development of weapons of mass destruction like nuclear weapons, that people use these technologies do not necessarily uninhibited. With the emergence of new technologies come new ethical rules, even if delayed. The possibilities of artificial reproduction could be an example, there are the ghosts. I'm assuming that some former Regent times would have made much more rigorous use of the atomic bomb, as the leaders of the past 60 years.

Neutrality in the search for knowledge I do not consider conflicting. It is more difficult because the interpretation of the findings. It is important not only to the truth claim. I understand as a statement that forced the findings of research are inappropriate. Only when the knower open a research object is approaching, real knowledge is possible. This would be the further consideration in the direction of "atomic bomb" interesting. The term "ideology" we usually mean in a political context. In this sense ideology is freedom unfinished necessary to gather the relevant scientific findings. A purely science-based ideology is again the engine of the discoverer. One must love the world. One would even want to understand them and their relationships better. And also to avoid falling into temptation, they want to destroy. Who wants to destroy the world necessarily, finds a way - be it political or scientific - or hand in hand.

In the pursuit of knowledge, the most critical attitude I think is open mindedness. If ones mind is open minded, ones capacity to gain knowledge and absorb it becomes higher. If he is open to possibilities, he will surely gain knowledge. When you are open minded, your acceptance and thinking about knowledge is infinite and knowledge is indeed infinite.
