Exploring the role of values in scientific inquiry

Hugh Lacey examines the nature and meaning of values, and looks at challenges to the view, posed by postmodernists, feminists, radical ecologists, Third-World advocates and religious fundamentalists, that science is value free.

He also focuses on discussions of development, especially in Third World countries. This paperback edition includes a new preface.
