Abstract

AI

The paper examines the ongoing debate surrounding the role of science in policy-making, particularly the challenge of distinguishing between science and politics. It argues against the traditional notion of a clear separation, asserting that the intertwining of values in scientific research is not only inevitable but essential for the integrity and responsibility of science in public policy. The author emphasizes that a rigid boundary may ultimately threaten scientific autonomy more than an integrated understanding of the role of values in both fields.
