Charting new territory in the interface between science and ethics,
Science and Virtue is a study of how the scientific mentality can
affect the building of character, or the attainment of virtue by
the individual. Drawing on inspiration from virtue-ethics and
virtue-epistemology, Caruana argues that science is not just a
system of knowledge but also an important factor determining a way
of life. This book goes beyond the normal strategy evident in the
science-ethics realm of examining specific ethical dilemmas posed
by scientific innovations. Here Caruana deals with more fundamental
issues, uncovering morally significant tendencies within the very
core of the scientific mentality and explaining how science, its
method, history and explanatory power can shape a conception of the
good life.
