Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Science
  • Ethics in Science

Background:

  • The traditional

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new framework for distinguishing legitimate from illegitimate value influences in scientific inquiry.
  • To draw parallels between the historical "demarcation problem" and the contemporary challenge of value-laden science.

Main Methods:

  • Drawing lessons from historical attempts to define science.
  • Analyzing the failure of necessary and sufficient conditions for demarcation.
  • Proposing an alternative approach based on norms and conventions.

Main Results:

  • Historical demarcation efforts failed to provide definitive criteria for science.
  • A norm-based approach is more fruitful than strict condition-setting for evaluating value influences.
  • Epistemic and ethical norms can guide scientific practice.

Conclusions:

  • The "value-free ideal" in science is increasingly rejected.
  • A norm-based approach offers a practical method for assessing value influences in science.
  • Implementing rules, conventions, and policies is key to navigating values in scientific practice.
