In this provocative new book Harry Collins seeks to redeem scientific expertise, and reasserts scienceโs special status. Despite the messy realities of day-to-day scientific endeavor, he emphasizes the superior moral qualities of science, dismissing the dubious โdefaultโ expertise displayed by many of those outside the scientific community. Science, he argues, should serve as an example to ordinary citizens of how to think and act, and not the other way round.
