Abstract

Hugh Lacey (1939) is Research Fellow Emeritus at Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania, United States, where began teaching in 1972. He holds a PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from Indiana University (USA). He has been a visiting professor at the University of São Paulo on several occasions (1973, 1996, 2000 and 2004). His works assign proper places to values within technoscience, trying to show that the scientific materialist approach needs to assume also the place that things occupy in ecological and social systems. Lacey is the author of several articles and books, among which are Values and Scientific Activity 1, Values and Scientific Activity 2, The GMO Controversy: scientific and ethical issues, among others.
