Abstract

In this paper, I develop and defend a moralized conception of epistemic trust in science against a particular kind of non-moral account defended by John (2015, 2018). I suggest that non-epistemic value considerations, non-epistemic norms of communication and affective trust properly characterize the relationship of epistemic trust between scientific experts and non-experts. I argue that it is through a moralized account of epistemic trust in science that we can make sense of the deep-seated moral undertones that are often at play when non-experts (dis)trust science.

对科学专家的认识论信任：道德层面。

在本文中，我针对约翰（2015，2018）所捍卫的一种特殊的非道德论述，发展并捍卫了科学中认识论信任的道德化概念。我认为，非表观价值考虑、非表观交流规范和情感信任恰当地描述了科学专家与非专家之间的认识论信任关系。我认为，正是通过对科学认识论信任的道德化解释，我们才能理解非专家（不）信任科学时经常出现的根深蒂固的道德色彩。

期刊介绍： Science and Engineering Ethics is an international multidisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring ethical issues associated with science and engineering, covering professional education, research and practice as well as the effects of technological innovations and research findings on society. While the focus of this journal is on science and engineering, contributions from a broad range of disciplines, including social sciences and humanities, are welcomed. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, ethics of new and emerging technologies, research ethics, computer ethics, energy ethics, animals and human subjects ethics, ethics education in science and engineering, ethics in design, biomedical ethics, values in technology and innovation. We welcome contributions that deal with these issues from an international perspective, particularly from countries that are underrepresented in these discussions.
