Truth and Science:

Prof. Philip Kitcher, Columbia University, Department of Philosophy

The erosion of trust in the sciences raises three important questions:

1. Does scientific inquiry deserve the status it once enjoyed in democratic societies as a privileged source of truth?

2. What has happened to undermine its status in some areas of science and among some people?

3. If the turn against scientific authority is a mistake, what can be done to remedy it?
