Dubious neutrality of science
- Myth of value-free science
Claim
Science purports to be value free and yet has established itself as the supreme value of industrial civilization. A strong scientific establishment is seen as the basis for all power: military, industrial, intellectual. Schools and universities are harnessed to science. Business and economics are becoming scientific disciplines in the quest of efficiency. Yet science cannot establish any values and, by its own definition, is not qualified to provide a scientific code of ethics.
