There is a growing crisis in scientific research characterized by
failures to reproduce experimental results, fraud, lack of
innovation, and burn-out. In Science and Christian Ethics, Paul
Scherz traces these problems to the drive by governments and
business to make scientists into competitive entrepreneurs who use
their research results to stimulate economic growth. The result is
a competitive environment aimed at commodifying the world. In order
to confront this problem of character, Scherz examines the
alternative Aristotelian and Stoic models of reforming character,
found in the works of Alasdair MacIntyre and Michel Foucault.
Against many prominent virtue ethicists, he argues that what
individual scientists need is a regime of spiritual exercises, such
as those found in Stoicism as it was adopted by Christianity, in
order to refocus on the good of truth in the face of institutional
pressure. His book illuminates pressing issues in research ethics,
moral education, and anthropology.
