Mike W. Martin is professor of philosophy at Chapman University. He is the author of twelve books, including Ethics in Engineering (McGraw-Hill) and Meaningful Work: Rethinking Professional Ethics (Oxford).
Creativity is a virtue that the norms of science have been shaped
to harness. Like all institutions, science succeeds only
imperfectly in channeling creativity into fruitful advance and
application. Martin's book is the first to address the way in which
creative scientific talents interact with the professional norms of
applied and pure research to produce its more praiseworthy
scientists and their achievements, as well as those whose creative
efforts circumvent and fall afoul of science's rules of conduct.
This is a book that makes the topic of professional ethics more
than just an obligatory subject. It makes it an interesting
one.
