Isi artikel

Chapter 8 made the case that a book on ethics and science should include considerations of science–society relationships. Thinking must extend beyond doing things right to doing the right things. Thus the remaining chapters explore the social contexts of scienti? c research. Chapters 9 and 10 form a natural pair: the former covers the making of policies to guide the conduct of science, the latter deals with the use of science to guide policy making. Notice how in the political context concern for “good science” and “certi?ed knowledge” tends now to be discussed in terms of “sound science” (science that is good for society) and “responsible knowledge.” The ?nal two chapters broaden the perspective beyond politics to consider the place of science in ideational culture (the world of ideas and beliefs) and material culture (technologies and their human signi?cance).
