Bias, Blind Spots, and Cherry-Picking: Methodological Challenges in Contextual Ethics
摘要
The philosophy of science has long debated the methodological challenges associated with employing historical case studies. Among the key challenges encountered in undertaking this form of contextual philosophy of science are ‘construction bias’ and ‘selection bias’. In this chapter, I contend that these methodological concerns can be pertinent to moral philosophers who utilize case studies within the family of approaches comprising the field of contextual ethics. However, the chapter is also a text experiment.
