Abstract
Values of many kinds play important roles in science.
Ethical values constrain the types of experiments that
scientists perform and the conditions under which they
perform them. Moral and political values influence the
choice of problems to address. Social values are operative
in organizing social behavior in the scientific community.
Values of some sort influence the methods of scientific
knowledge production; the focus here is on the precise
nature of the values that govern these methods.
