Science is intrinsically biased | Ben Ware, Hilary Lawson, Shini Somara, Tim Palmer

Philosopher Ben Ware and scientists Shini Somara and Tim Palmer discuss the intrinsic biases and limits to science, and how these can be addressed. Do you agree with the assessment that science holds intrinsic prejudice? With a free trial, you can watch the full debate NOW at https://iai.tv/video/the-values-and-p... From the origins of the universe to the functioning of the brain, we see science as a quest for the underlying truth of things. The worldviews and personal opinions of the scientists are thought to be irrelevant. But might this be a dangerous mistake? Critics argue the personal experience and outlook of the scientist is a key element that cannot be eradicated. Einstein's criticism of quantum mechanics, for example, was ultimately based on his personal view that 'God does not play dice with the world'. Meanwhile accounts of the brain reflect the historical time and perspectives of the scientists involved – once the brain was seen as a telephone exchange, now it is commonly described as a computer. Should we conclude that all scientific theories are influenced by the personal outlook of the scientist, and the particular worldview they hold? As a result, do we need to ensure that scientists hold a wide range of different outlooks and have varied personal backgrounds? Or is such an approach fundamentally misguided, and instead science should always seek to eradicate the personal and focus on the brilliance of the theory alone? #science #sciencediscovery #physics #philosophy #philosophyofscience Tim Palmer is a world renowned expert on climate physics at the Royal Society Institute in Oxford. He was appointed as CBE in the 2015 New Year’s Honours list for services to science. Shini Somara is a highly accomplished British mechanical engineer. With a mission to bring science to everyone, she has participated as an engineering expert on Sky, Discovery, and more. Ben Ware is a leading philosopher and an expert on Wittgenstein. He is the co-director of the Centre for Philosophy and the Visual Arts at King’s College London and the author of On Extinction: Beginning Again at The End.
