David Sidorsky, a professor of philosophy at Columbia University, speaks about the relationship between science and human values. This is the fourth lecture in a series exploring the philosophy of values. Sidorsky approaches what he calls the “clash” of science and morality generally through the perspective of American pragmatism and particularly in response to the work of American philosopher John Dewey. He contends that this perspective often considers moral principles “timeless and eternal” and scientific thought “changing and temporal.” Sidorsky explores the idea that values are “transcendent” principles inherently incompatible with the practical world of science and technology. The lecture is followed with questions from the audience.
