Description of the project
Research area
Mathematics & Society, Computer Science/Chemistry/Science & Society.
Mission/themes
Understanding and supporting argumentative, procedural and ethical quality in societal debate, deliberation and decision making that relate to (or draw upon) science and technology, particularly information technology, mathematical models and statistics, environmental issues and biotechnology
Research results in 2007
An argumentation analysis of the recent US debate on data mining was finished for publication. A start was made with what will be a major activity for the coming period: a fundamental project in epistemology, to develop a theory of knowledge. Though aimed as a contribution to epistemology in general, the more specific purpose is to provide a basis for the study of (the social role of) science and scientific expertise.
