Science in Democracy

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of science and democracy, Mark Brown examines how politicized scientific expertise impacts public discourse on critical issues like global warming and biotechnology. He critiques the notion of a value-free science and advocates for a more democratic approach to scientific practice. By integrating insights from political theory and science studies, Brown argues for a redefinition of both science and democracy, emphasizing the need to address the complexities of scientific politics in contemporary democratic societies.
