Beskrivning
Scientists are supposed to have freedom to choose and conduct their experiments and exchange their ideas. Known as scientific freedom, this idea has been implicated in both wonderful and terrible scientific discoveries. Although it is not new, it has great relevance to contemporary society. In a time of genetic editing, global warming, and a worldwide pandemic, the question of how freely science is and should be conducted is one that has significant practical consequences. Drawing on rigorous interdisciplinary methods, this book defines the concept of scientific freedom, tells its story, and asks on what basis scientific freedom is best justified. Based on international human rights law and philosophy, the authors develop a model of scientific freedom as a constitutive element of the human right to enjoy the benefits of the progress of science and its applications. To illustrate its usefulness, they then test and apply this model to a real-life and real-time case study, as well as to two highly important international human rights instruments.

Recensioner i media

Although scientific freedom is clearly at the heart of the right to science as a human right, it is less clear what this freedom entails and how it interacts with other rights and freedoms. This book is the first to provide a very comprehensive and accessible analysis of the historical, theoretical and practical dimensions of scientific freedom. A must-read for professionals and policymakers in this field!
