Values And Objectivity In Science: The Current Controversy About Transgenic Crops, Hugh Lacey
Values And Objectivity In Science: The Current Controversy About Transgenic Crops, Hugh Lacey
Philosophy Faculty Works
Values and Objectivity in Science illustrates many of the ethical issues that arise concerning scientific practices and applications, offering an account of how social and ethical values play important roles in science. Hugh Lacey develops and clarifies his previous analysis by arguing for the importance of research being conducted under a plurality of strategies, contrasting materialist strategies with agro-ecological strategies. By displaying the structure of current ethical controversies about the legitimacy of planting transgenic crops, this book illustrates that sound thinking on such issues must be grounded on an adequate philosophy of science, one that can clearly distinguish between the …
Como Devem Os Valores Influenciar A Ciência?, Hugh Lacey
Como Devem Os Valores Influenciar A Ciência?, Hugh Lacey
Philosophy Faculty Works
Scientists make judgments of value all the time. They usually evaluatetheir theories according to “cognitive values” (empirical adequacy, power tomake predictions, explanatory power etc). But a theory can also be evaluatedaccording to non-cognitive values (social, political, economical, etc). Traditionally,cognitive and non-cognitive kinds of values are maintained separated from oneanother in order to protect science’s “autonomy”, impartiality”, and “neutrality”.However, social and moral values, as well as other kinds of non-cognitive values,play their role in science, not only by addressing the ethical issues of scientificresearch, but also by establishing the strategies according to which the problemsto be investigated are chosen, and practical …

Listening To The Evidence, Hugh Lacey
Investigating The Environmental Risks Of Transgenic Crops, Hugh Lacey
Investigating The Environmental Risks Of Transgenic Crops, Hugh Lacey
Philosophy Faculty Works
Legitimation of public policies that support the widespread plantings of transgenic crops presuppose, among other conditions, that (1) evidence supports that there are no unmanageable environmental risks and (2) there are no better ways to produce enough nourishing food that can dispense with the transgenics-oriented ways. This paper discusses: (a) the kinds of scientific inquiry that are needed to address (1) adequately, (b) the connections between investigations of (1) and (2), and (c) how these investigations are related with controversial social values.

On The Very Problem Of The Problem Of God In Zubiri And Unamuno, Brad E. Stone
On The Very Problem Of The Problem Of God In Zubiri And Unamuno, Brad E. Stone
Philosophy Faculty Works
Perhaps one innovation brought about by Spanish philosophy is the notion that “God” names a problem instead of an entity. This is what Xavier Zubiri means when he uses the phrase “the problem of God.” Although he does not employ the Zubirian phrase, Miguel de Unamuno also addresses God as a problem. This paper compares Zubiri’s and Unamuno’s accounts of how God appears to human beings polemically. For both thinkers, God is a problem only for human beings; there is something about the structure of human existence that makes God come to mind. For Zubiri, God comes to mind because …

Scientific Methodologies In Medieval Islam, Jon Mcginnis
Scientific Methodologies In Medieval Islam, Jon Mcginnis
Philosophy Faculty Works
The present study considers Ibn Sînâ's (Lat. Avicenna) account of induction (istiqra') and experimentation (tajriba). For Ibn Sînâ induction purportedly provided the absolute, necessary and certain first principles of a science. Ibn Sînâ criticized induction, arguing that it can neither guarantee the necessity nor provide the primitiveness required of first principles. In it place, Ibn Sînâ developed a theory of experimentation, which avoids the pitfalls of induction by not providing absolute, but conditional, necessary and certain first principles. The theory of experimentation that emerges though not modern, does have elements that are similar to a modern conception of scientific method.
Existe Uma Distinção Relevante Entre Valores Cognitivos E Sociais?, Hugh Lacey
Existe Uma Distinção Relevante Entre Valores Cognitivos E Sociais?, Hugh Lacey
Philosophy Faculty Works
It is useful to work with a model of the practices of scientific research that proposes that there are three key moments at which choices must be made: the moments of (i) adopting a strategy (or methodological rules), (ii) accepting theories, and (iii) applying scientific knowledge. Social values may have legitimate and important roles at the first and third moments, but not the second, where only cognitive values and available empirical data have essential roles. The distinction between cognitive and social values is needed to maintain this model, and thus to sustain the view that impartial scientific knowledge can be …

The Evolutionary Indeterminism Thesis, Timothy Shanahan
The Evolutionary Indeterminism Thesis, Timothy Shanahan
Philosophy Faculty Works
Evolutionary indeterminists argue that, in addition to any indeterminism introduced by quantum events, at least some evolutionary processes are themselves fundamentally indeterministic. That is, they maintain that the chance element in evolutionary processes results from indeterminism in the processes themselves, rather than simply from our cognitive limitations. Not everyone has been persuaded. A number of philosophers have argued that claims for evolutionary indeterminism are premature at best and deeply confused at worst. They maintain that evolutionary processes can and should be understood as deterministic processes. According to them, "chance" is merely a word denoting our ignorance of causes. This controversy …
An Introduction To The Philosophy Of Art, Richard Thomas Eldridge
An Introduction To The Philosophy Of Art, Richard Thomas Eldridge
Philosophy Faculty Works
In this book Richard Eldridge presents a clear and compact survey of philosophical theories of the nature and significance of art. Drawing on materials from classical and contemporary philosophy as well as from literary theory and art criticism, he explores the representational, expressive, and formal dimensions of art, and he argues that works of art present their subject matter in ways that are of enduring cognitive, moral, and social interest. His discussion, illustrated with a wealth of examples, ranges over topics such as beauty, originality, imagination, imitation, the ways in which we respond emotionally to art, and why we argue …

Cavell On American Philosophy And The Idea Of America, Richard Thomas Eldridge
Cavell On American Philosophy And The Idea Of America, Richard Thomas Eldridge
Philosophy Faculty Works
Here is a common picture of what American philosophy looks like to and within many American philosophy departments. To a considerable degree, it does not exist at all. Most departments do not feel obliged to teach American philosophy as they do modern philosophy (Descartes to Kant) and ancient Greek philosophy. It is normally not part of the requirements for a major. Of course, writings by Americans are mostly what do get taught, but they are taught as just philosophy, not as American philosophy. When it is taught, it is taught as a peripheral history course, typically focusing on the major …
