Wissenschaftsfreiheit und Moral
Book • 2024
In 'Wissenschaftsfreiheit und Moral', Tim Henning delves into the complex interplay between scientific freedom and moral critique.
He defends a strict conception of scientific freedom, emphasizing that scientific inquiry should be guided solely by the criteria of systematic truth-seeking.
However, he also argues for the possibility of non-moralistic moral criticism within the realm of science.
Henning suggests that moral considerations can be relevant in assessing the practical costs of errors in scientific theories, thus integrating moral and epistemological perspectives.
The book uses several controversial examples to test this theory, including discussions on genetics, gender, and disability, highlighting the importance of careful argumentation and the avoidance of ideological biases in scientific discourse.
