About
"Since World War II, most philosophers of science have argued that science should remain "value-free." Heather E. Douglas argues that such a standard is neither adequate nor desirable. She lobbies for a new ideal in which values serve an essential function throughout scientific inquiry, but their role is constrained at key points, thereby protecting the integrity and objectivity of science."--BOOK JACKET.
