"Virtually all techno-scientific decisions from the selection of research problems, to the acceptance of particular theories, to clinical, therapeutic decisions involve important and appropriate socioeconomic and political dimensions. The point here must be strong: not just that politics currently plays a role in science, but that it always has and always will.




The most effective teaching strategy relies on first developing the idea of a new type of topic politics as a humanity in contradistinction to the students' current dominant images of the scientific enterprise. This establishes a broader framework and prepares the way for presentation of a more sophisticated hybrid model of politics, one that allows an appreciation of both the classical humanities and social scientific traditions. Through this process one can create a legitimate and permanent place for politics on the student's intellectual map of reality.
