Vol. 4 No. 03 (2026): BRIDGING THE MORAL-MATERIAL GAP IN SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY
A question asked of students of microeconomics is this: Is our present generation more well off than the past generation? This question is not adequately well answered even by any depth of scientific approach. That is because even in the great strides that scientific and technological advancement has occurred in every discipline, yet the great gap of disintegration remains in respect of the failure of analytical integration elements between the moral/ethical goals and materiality, both of which ascribe the completeness of planetary coexistence. This pervasive problem of the socio-scientific gap in every discipline has deepened despite the emergence of the age of Artificial Intelligence with its multifaced abhorring ethical absence in the face of the material feats of the physical order disrupting the need for moral-material sustainable inclusiveness. The answer to the microeconomic question in its negative sense adversely affecting wellbeing of the present generation thus remains tenable. This persistent analytical problem of the gap remains unresolved, and poses as the most disadvantaged incompleteness of all socio-scientific theory, notwithstanding the need for fullness of the realm of science.
