Abstract

In The Challenge of the Social and the Pressure of Practice, philosophers, sociologists, and historians of science offer a multidisciplinary view of the complex interrelationships of values in science and society in both contemporary and historic contexts. They analyze the impact of commercialization and politicization on epistemic aspirations, and, conversely, the ethical dilemmas raised by “practically relevant” science in today's society. For example, much scientific research over the past quarter century has been guided by the financing that supports it. What effect has this had on the quality of research produced and the advancement of real knowledge? The contributors reveal how social values affect objectivity, theory, and the direction of inquiry, and examine the byproducts of external value systems in topics such as “expertise” and “socially robust knowledge,” among others. They view science's own internal value systems, the earlier disconnection of societal values from the scientific process, and the plausibility of “value free” science. The Challenge of the Social and the Pressure of Practice presents an in-depth analysis that places the role of values at the center of philosophical debate and raises questions of morality, credibility, and the future role of values in scientific inquiry.

Abstract

Comment traite-t-on les vies ? Que fait-on des morts ? Ou plutôt, que dit d’une société la manière dont elle considère certaines vies, vies de travailleurs, vies d’exilés, vies de prisonniers, vies rendues vulnérables, inégales ? Et que révèlent de ses valeurs la façon dont meurent certains de ces travailleurs, certains de ces exilés ou certains de ces prisonniers, la façon dont on les laisse mourir ou dont on les expose à la mort, la façon dont on détourne les yeux de leur condition ou dont on se mobilise pour les protéger ? Au fond, comment se définissent les économies morales de la vie et de la mort dans le monde contemporain ? Telles sont les questions posées dans ce livre à propos de trois objets au regard desquels elles s’avèrent particulièrement pertinentes : le travail, l’exil et la prison. Ce choix n’est pas neutre. Il vise à éclairer des lieux où, souvent, la précarité des vies est rendue invisible et la douleur des morts indicible.
