Summary
This article examines the potential and limitations of applying contemplative ethics interventions within scientific contexts. It argues that while such practices can enhance ethical awareness and decision-making, they face structural constraints including institutional resistance, cultural biases, and the challenge of translating personal insight into systemic policy change. The piece calls for a balanced approach that acknowledges both the promise and practical hurdles of integrating contemplative ethics into scientific work.
