THE MODERN MEANINGS AND THE PROBLEMS OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM RELEVANT TO THE REGULATION OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

Abstract

How should we regulate scientific research, especially life science research, which is developing at high speed? To find the clue of this question, I return to the article 23 of the Constitution "Academic Freedom". I revealed the need of reinterpretation this article in response to the demands of the times, because it traditionally has not been provided and discussed that the Academic Freedom includes the freedom of scientific research in mind. Then, I considered about whether the freedom of scientific research is protected by this article, the best way to regulate scientific research, and the new issue which emerged from the freedom to publish the research result.
