Etične zlorabe znanosti v nacistični Nemčiji

Tomić, Anđela (avtor), Mali, Franc (mentor)

Diplomska naloga obravnava temo zlorabe znanosti in zločine znanstvenikov in zdravnikov v času nacistične Nemčije. Poudarek je na etični komponenti, zato se naloga osredinja na etične vidike zlorabe znanosti, pri čemer so v ospredju proučevanja neetična dejanja zdravnikov. Razkriva nezavidljiv položaj judovskih učenjakov v obdobju, ko so nacisti prevzeli oblast. Naloga je razdeljena na tri glavne sklope, pred, med in po nacizmu. Pojasnjeni so pogoji in ozadje nastanka nacizma, s poudarkom na nacizmu v znanosti ter posledice nacističnih raziskovalnih dejanj po koncu II. svetovne vojne. Osrednji del obravnave izhaja iz treh ključnih hipotez, ki sem jih skozi kritično analizo skušala dokazati. Prva hipoteza, da so znanstveniki imeli utemeljene razloge za svoja ravnanja, je bila zavrnjena. Preostali dve hipotezi sta bili potrjeni. Analiza je potrdila tako hipotezo, da sta nacizem in družbeno-zgodovinske okoliščine negativno vplivala na znanstveni razvoj, kot tudi hipotezo, da je odnos med nacizmom in znanostjo srhljiva učna ura za to, česar znanstveniki ne bi smeli nikoli početi.

Izvleček

My thesis addresses the topic of misuse of science and the crimes of scientists/physicians during Nazism, that is, in Nazi Germany. The main focus is on the ethical component, that is, the topic of misuse of science is specified to the role of ethics in the actions of physicians. It also explains the unenviable position of Jewish scholars when Nazi's took over the power. The thesis is divided into before, during and after Nazism. The conditions and background of the emergence of Nazism, with a focus on Nazism in science, and the consequences if left behind after the end of World War II are explained. The main part of the thesis is the middle part, science during Nazism, in which two out of three hypotheses were confirmed. The first hypotheses, that the scientists had justified reasons for their actions, was rejected. Throughout the study, I confirmed my second hypothesis that Nazism and socio-historical circumstances had a negative impact on scientific development. The third one, the relationship between Nazism and science serves as a lesson on the relation between science and ethics, is also a confirmed hypothesis.
