The Ethics of Science: An Introduction (Philosophical Issues in Science)
For a long time those of us who try to explain science to students have needed a text that is both comprehensive and comprehensible and strikes our students as relevant to their own experience.  David Resnik's The Ethics of Sciencemeets these needs--and more.  It helpsus to understand how science works the way that it does and when it fails, why it fails..–David L. Hull, Northwestern UniversityScience faculty and students--and an interested public--will find Ethics of Scienceadmirably clear, balanced, and richly comprehensive . . .An extremely useful aspect of the book is that virtually every kind of ethical questions that arises in and about science isaddressed.–Hans Oberdiek, Swarthmore CollegeDavid B. Resnik uses a wealth of actual and hypothetical examples in a clear philosophical discussion that illuminates the range of ethical concerns that scientists need to face. This is one area where philosophical argument can serve a practical need: the more scientists who think carefully about the issues Resnik raises, the better.–Peter Lipton, Cambridge UniversityEssential reading for all students and professionals in science and scientific research.–Chaos
