Science, context and professional ethics
2004
Chadwick, R. | Korthals, M.
The author has argued that current debates on the distrust of science have missed what might be an enlightening dimension, that is to set the debate within the context of professional ethics as a whole. Reference to this context shows that it might behelpful to contrast the internal and external approach. Present day debates about the ethics of science, while trying to incorporate public engagement _upstream_ could usefully be informed by discussions about what constitutes the _internal good_ ofscience. This should not be understood purely in terms of freedom of thought. Analysing this good would also provide a framework for analysing the problems arising from scientific research in particular institutional contexts which might by their verynature undermine the pursuit of the internal good
