Description

Explore the complex relationship between scientific discovery and moral responsibility with The Ethics of Science: An Introduction. Published by Routledge, this book provides a student-friendly guide to understanding the ethical dimensions of scientific research and the role of the scientist in modern society. This text covers essential topics including ethical theory, standards of conduct, and the importance of objectivity in research. It examines science as a profession and addresses specific ethical issues encountered in the laboratory setting. By looking at the scientist's place in the broader world, readers gain a deeper understanding of how to approach scientific progress with integrity. To bridge theory and practice, the book includes detailed case studies. You will analyze real-world examples such as the Baltimore Affair, cold fusion, Milikan's oil drop experiments, human and animal cloning, Cold War experiments, and the Strategic Defence Initiative. This comprehensive approach makes it an ideal resource for students and professionals studying the philosophical issues within the scientific community.
