How does scientific knowledge differ from other forms of knowledge produced in society? What are the values that drive scientific knowledge production? What are the values that give scientific knowledge legitimacy and authority? This spring school focuses on the diversity of past and present scientific and social knowledge systems and on their underlying values.
The school will introduce you to the main philosophical debates on values in different historical contexts, as well as traditional and current demarcation debates, discussions about epistemic diversity and challenges to integrate forms of local, Indigenous, and traditional knowledge with scientific ones. You will develop a critical understanding of the various roles that values play in scientists' knowledge production as well as the analytical skills and historical sensibility that will enable you to analyze past and present value-driven debates across different knowledge systems.
