Descripción
Within the debate on the value-free science ideal, the relation between scientific inquiries and citizenry has been largely considered. According to Heather Douglas, given that under certain circumstances moral and social values play a legitimate role in science, two crucial questions are what and whose values should they be. Douglas presents an analyticdeliberative model to include and promote public participation in science and claims that such a model transcends the debates over which democratic ideal should we pursue. However, considering the complexities of the very idea of democracy as well as the different ways to support the inclusion of the public into science, some extra analysis is needed. The purpose of this article is to offer a theoretical framework to Douglas' proposal by referring to John Dewey's ideas about inquiry, public opinion, and democracy. Following Dewey, it is pointed out that at a normative level scientific inquiry as a solving-problem practice and democracy as conjoint communicated experience shapes each other by means of a scientifically informed public opinion. To conclude, it is claimed that Deweyan ideas offer coherent and solid philosophical grounds to Douglas' proposal. In addition, the relevance of pragmatism for contemporary discussions on science, values and politics is highlighted.
