Science Ethics and Humanism
We’ll be discussing the role ethics plays in science and considering how this relates to the humanist advocacy of science.
Questions we’ll be considering include: does science provide a model of ethical enterprise? Is it wise to imply that scientists must be good role models? Should being a good humanist require a strong belief in science?
What are you views? Come along to share them and discuss with like-minded people in a friendly environment.
