Presents essays that take a positive view of the relationship between the values embodied in science and the nature of civil society. The contributors to this book argue that science can broadly inspire the civic virtues of an educated and tolerant global enterprise dedicated to the common good.
There has been much debate recently about the relationship between science and politics. This volume of essays takes an affirming, positive view of the relationship between the values embodied in science (such as honesty and precision of language) and the nature of civil society. The contributors - who include philosophers, political scientists, feminist theorists, physicists and engineers - argue that science can broadly inspire the civic virtues of an educated and tolerant global enterprise dedicated to the common good.
