Inhaltsangabe

This is the first-ever handbook to cover the vibrant philosophical literature on values and science.

Its 45 chapters—appearing in print here for the first time—were written by a distinguished, international group of contributors and have been organized into six parts that explore the many ways in which ethics, values, and social considerations relate to the practices and content of the sciences:

1. Theoretical Background on Values and Science
2. Managing Values in Science
3. Values, Science, and Democracy
4. Values, Science, Institutions, and Organizations
5. Values in Scientific Activities
6. Values in Specific Sciences

Published at a time of increasing concerns about misinformation, polarization, and lack of reproducibility in science, this volume is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how science can be made more ethically and socially responsible.

The Routledge Handbook of Values and Science is designed to be an accessible resource not only for philosophers but also for scientists, policy makers, science communicators, and scholars from other science-studies fields.
