We live in an era of extreme claims versus weak consensus on issues
critical to the public. Is climate change a hoax, or is it
destroying our planet? Were the vaccines and social distancing
measures of COVID-19 designed to protect us, or were they an
invasion of our liberty? How do we determine the validity of these
claims and others like them? Can we find a reliable middle ground
leading to policies that help everyone? How Science Engages with
Ethics and Why It Should makes an impassioned plea for a scientific
analysis of ethics, discussing what such a method is, why we need
it, and what it can offer that other methods cannot. With
contributions from leading thinkers across a range of disciplines,
Part 1 explores the challenges facing scientists and how to
establish ground rules that will both protect human subjects and
guide researchers in the future. Part 2 explores the importance of
evidence-based science for topics such as climate change, social
care, political polarization and rational decision-making, showing
how even good science can go wrong, at times contributing to
disastrous effects. At the cutting edge of its discipline, How
Science Engages with Ethics and Why It Should provides a compelling
case for demanding evidence-based analysis to form the foundation
of the discussions and policies that affect our very lives. With
