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
contributions by: Jeffrey Barratt, Peter Ditto, Jessica Maria

As the world bears witness to the terror and warfare provoked by
people's sense of who they are, how they are regarded, and what
they deserve, we have entered into the 'age of identity.' Erik
Erikson (1902-1994) was the prophet of this new age. His lifetime
of clinical and interdisciplinary work on human development focused
on the formation and maintenance of identity among people of
diverse backgrounds: black, white, and Native American; rich,
middle class, and poor; male and female. In this volume scholars
from various disciplines, some who knew, worked with, and became
good friends of Erikson, discuss and assess his legacy, and
investigate the challenges that identity brings to the contemporary
world. Contributions to this volume frame the challenge identity
poses to contemporary scholarship through Erikson's own work,
research in empirical and clinical psychology, individual and
rational choice theories, Marxism, democratic theories of political
participation, fundamentalism, and globalization . Through the
book's truly trans-disciplinary scope, Erikson and his scholarship
beg to be revisited by psychologists, sociologists,
anthropologists, and students of interdisciplinary social sciences
and humanities.
