Science and Christian Ethics

Addresses the reproducibility crisis in science, tracing its roots to the drive by governments and business to make scientists into competitive entrepreneurs. By analyzing Aristotelian and Stoic models of moral development, it suggests how scientists might rededicate themselves to the scientific ideal to counter threats to scientific integrity.
