ABSTRACT

Science can never be practised in isolation, but continues to move forward by discovering new phenomena defining existing regularities of changes in existing matter. The current understanding on behaviour of genes is arrived by scientific experimentation aided by accumulated earlier knowledge. In spite of the axiomatic zigzag path traversed by it and the resulting amazing and sometimes complicated discoveries, Marxism sees science as an organ with an important social function. After all the very purpose of science is improvement of our knowledge about understanding nature and apply it for human betterment. In a word, application of various Marxist methods of enquiry removes science from its imagined position of detachment from society and shows that it is a part of economic and social environment. This clearly demonstrates whom this sense of detachment and masking the social responsibility of modern science is benefiting in today’s society.
