Ethics of the Sciences: Shaping the Future of Academic Practices

Hinrichsen, Jan; Bizer, Kilian; Hönnige, Christoph; Misselhorn, Catrin; Reydon, Thomas; Schicktanz, Silke

This book sketches the outlines of a novel approach to the Ethics of the Sciences that is both nuanced and participatory, as a guiding principle for better science in society. The contributors collectively propose to elevate the ethics of science from an ancillary field that mainly provides services to the sciences, to a field that is in its own right a hub of knowledge, developing its own scholarly processes and methods that are translatable into a broad range scientific contexts.

This shift is facilitated by a rigorously interdisciplinary perspective that spans a wide range of expertise, subject matters, and approaches. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers in science and technology studies, technology studies, philosophy, bio-/medical ethics, law, sociology, educational sciences, political sciences, computer/data science, and history of science.
