Methods and Morals in the Life Sciences: A Guide for Analyzing and Writing Texts
Editorial Reviews
Review
“A rather useful source of ideas for critical thinking as a science. . . . Since the critical philosophical issues are commonly not discussed in scientific training, the book could make writers in the life sciences aware of problems they might not otherwise consider.”–The Quarterly Review of Biology
Book Description
Van der Steen and Ho present tools from logic and ethics for assessing and creating scientific literature in biology and biomedicine. Contending that logic and methodology are not well applied in medicine and biology, they argue that the impact of social and moral factors on claims within the disciplines are underestimated by most researchers. They then set forth approaches to better assess the literature and to generate more effectively argued and accurate materials.
