Description

Exploring the role of values in scientific inquiry, Hugh Lacey examines the nature and meaning of values and looks at challenges to the view, from postmodernists, feminists, radical ecologists, third-world advocates and religious fundamentalists, that science is value free. He also focuses on discussions of "development", especially in third world countries. This paperback edition includes a new preface.

Author Biography:

Hugh Lacey is Professor of Philosophy at Swarthmore College. He is also the co-author (with Barry Schwartz) of Behaviourism, Science and Human Nature.
