Description
This book provides an easily accessible introduction to the roles that values play in scientific research. It examines case studies from a wide variety of research areas, and it highlights multiple strategies for fostering engagement between stakeholders so that value influences can be identified and subjected to critical scrutiny.
A Tapestry of Values: an introduction to values in Science is a must-have book for those who use or teach any aspect of science. Tapestry will help people learn to recognize the presence of values in science, and assess their impact and legitimacy. By doing so, we will be able to have a much richer and more meaningful and productive conversation about how science can help us to achieve better societies, and we will be able to carry out scientific practices more responsibly in pursuit of this aim.
