PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE POLICY Professional philosophers and scientists liave studied the systems and provided the best methods for maintaining the status quo. Willingly or unwittingly they have acted as paid bureaucrats, not as the leaders ; they have behaved as front-line soldiers, not as commanders. Meekly they have sought an easy ride on the bandwagon of the oppressor class.... No other area of our action would have greater implications for the future of mankind than our policy in the field of science and technology. Any decision taken today will shape every environment of our social, economic, defense and political world of tomorrow. Therefore the question of Pedagogy and Science Policy particularly in the Third World cannot be and should not be permitted to serve strategic and diplomatic or military and prestige requirements of any clan, elite or government. -Editorial, PSA, Vol. I, No. 1.
