The paper analyzes Krajewski's claim that internal goals of science (such as truth, depth and simplicity) as well as external goals (such as practical applications of knowledge) are both significant but only the latter are fundamental from social point of view. Krajewski's conception is confronted with opinions held in evolutionary psychology
