Ціннісно-нормативне обґрунтування науки та моральна автономія суб'єкта

The paper approves the statement on value-regulatory foundation of science — social sci­ence in particular — as mediated by argued scientific discourse. The regulative idea of such a discourse is an ideal communication. The transcendental-argumentative ground of ethics constitutes the normative condition of social theory grounding, meanwhile the intension- al content of social theory is derived from critical-reconstructive social sciences. This statement is concretized through application to different theories, especially to those which are associated with bio-technology and genetic technology, preimplantation diag­nostics etc. The discoursive foundation of science presuppose, by-turn, an autonomous subject able to bear responsibility for elaboration and realization of such projects, comple­menting the individual responsibility with common responsibility on the basis of discour­sive ethics.
