Science, Truth, and Democracy - Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science
Kitcher, Phillip (, Professor of Philosophy, Columbia University)
Closely examining some of our notions about the role of science, the author engages the heated debate about how scientific knowledge should be pursued and employed. He paints a portrait of the sciences that allows for the possibility of scientific truth but nonetheless permits social consensus to determine which avenues need to be investigated.
