Charting new territory in the interface between science and ethics, Science and Virtue is a study of how the scientific mentality can affect the building of character or the attainment of virtue by the individual. Drawing on inspiration from virtue ethics and virtue epistemology, Caruana argues that science is not just a system of knowledge but also an important factor in determining a way of life. This book goes beyond the normal strategy evident in the science-ethics realm of examining specific ethical dilemmas posed by scientific innovations. Here Caruana deals with more fundamental issues, uncovering morally significant tendencies within the very core of the scientific mentality and explaining how science, its method, history, and explanatory power can shape a conception of the good life.
