Description

Adam Briggle and Carl Mitcham introduce ethics and its normative structure in science, exploring how critical thinking, cogent argument, and informed judgement shape our understanding of good and bad, right and wrong.

The authors examine the 'society of science', its norms for responsible research conduct, and treatment of human and animal subjects. Later chapters consider the intersections of science with policy, religion, culture, and technology, featuring case studies and research questions to stimulate reflection.
