How to Not Secure Public Trust in Science: Representative Values Versus Polarization and Marginalization
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 September 2023
Abstract
The demise of the value-free ideal constitutes a threat to public trust in science. One proposal is that, whenever making value judgments, scientists rely only on democratic values. Because the influence of democratic values on scientific claims and recommendations is legitimate, public trust in science is warranted. I challenge this proposal. Appealing to democratic values will not suffice to secure trust because of at least two obstacles: polarization and marginalization.
