In this paper, the author offers an analysis of the evolution in Mariano Iberico’s moral philosophy that would have happened between two of his publications in the decade of the twenties. In the first publication, Iberico defends a morality of a dualistic type, giving birth to an ideal on the basis of overcoming the existential self along with its interests, needs and urgencies. A metaphysical type of morality would have been the result of such a claim. Six years later, on the other hand, the author presents a morality more understanding of the human contradiction, which does not demand the overcoming of the self as moral ideal, but rather recognizes the value of the individual. The hypothesis of this work suggests that the above mentioned evolution in Iberico’s thought would have originated from the reading of William James and of other authors whom Iberico named ‘romantics’.

In this article, the author shows how an idealized interpretation of science has led common sense to imagine a supposed ethical neutrality of it. And even, it has been assumed that science should be the guide of the society but without assuming any dependency of the latter to the former. The author then shows a new way of interpreting science from scientific practices, a model recently made since the 1960s in the post-Kuhnian philosophy of science. In this adaptive andpragmatist model, science reveals its greater dependence on social values and so we can speak of an axiology extended for science
