	opencopy.org - Lecture 2A: Morality and Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Although there are some generally accepted ethical standards in science, the problem has been that the autonomy of the scientist to pursue truth has gotten in the way of establishing a code of ethics for the profession.
		This belief in freedom and truth causes a real problem in the case of science, because scientists have considerable power in our society and their activities are largely insulated or hidden from the community.
		A good example of a deontological approach to science would be the condemnation of any experiments on human beings that are conducted without the free consent of the individuals being tested.

		The "science" in the subtitle is mainly heat theory (one of his major areas of research) and "culture" entails the non-scientific spectrum (as defined in the 19th century) of literature, art, music, philosophy, and religion.
		This book is a series of case studies on specific topics, such as the influence of science (physiology) on aesthetics, the relationship of taxonomy to scientific illustration, and the interplay between geological illustration and landscape.
		This is because most of the "science" here is really the science of vision and photography where it is more likely that some of the parallelisms may be causally related (so we do not see the old myth of Relativity and Cubism, for example).

		Vigilance can do serious damage to science for the reason that trust relations among scientists are constitutive of the making, maintenance, and extension of scientific knowledge, that is, to the capacity of the scientific community to produce consensual knowledge upon which others may rely.

	• SCIENCE INCARNATE ~
		That alone makes science a massively special object of inquiry, for, as we have briefly suggested, the conditions affecting the interpretation of what counts as genuine knowledge and what as error, or knowledge of lesser value, clearly differ very significantly.
		Yet this admitted specialness of science, and the distinctive conditions affecting inquiry about science, also prompt thoughts about the terms in which the historical and sociological interpretation of science may have wider interest and applicability.
		Nor has science been the only form of culture to clothe its knowers in garments originally cut to fit the religious ascetic and to adapt to its purposes religious tropes of otherworldliness and self-denial.

Discuss the validity of this statement as a summary of the way scientists work.
		Discuss the nature of science (as distinct from music, philosophy, etc.) using examples from the history of science before 1750.
		Discuss the public/private "duality" of science and how it may explain the emergence of objectively-verifiable knowledge from the efforts of people with a wide range of methods and motivations.

		Technological positivism “insulates” the world of science and technology from the rest of society making its “internal logic” the only really important issue.
		The second problem with this emphasis on technological progress as a law of nature is that it ignores the fact that technology has never been neutral.
		This alternate form of discourse has been obscured over the course of three centuries of technological boosterism; but it is re-emerging today with concerns that capitalism, science and technology are destroying our environment.

		Control of homogeneous nucleation (previously demonstrated by dilutions of a nucleating sample after various times of incubation) may also be achieved by incubating a sample at 1 temperature, where nucleation can occur, and changing the temperature to conditions where there is growth but no nucleation.
