261065 Science and Value (S) (SoSe 2015)
Contents, comment
-
This course will examine the appropriate role of value judgments in science. We will evaluate the thesis of value neutrality, according to which ethical, social, and other ‘non-epistemic’ value judgments can and should be excluded from the domain of hypothesis appraisal. In this part of the course, we will pay particular attention to the so-called ‘argument from inductive risk.’ Following this, we will discuss some of the potential implications of denying the thesis of value neutrality. Time permitting, we will conclude the course with a discussion of the role and effects of intellectual property rights (IPRs) in science and the types of values that an emphasis on IPRs reflects.
