About From Commodification to the Common Good: Reconstructing Science, Technology, and Society.
Abstract
Radder is a philosopher of science and technology, who has always had a wide interest in the links among science, technology, and society. Chapter 3 ("Commodifying Science and Technology: The Theory and Practice of Patenting") shows what philosophy of science and technology has to add to existing sociopolitical, legal, and ethical discussions of patenting. In chapter 7 ("The Public Interest of Science and Technology"), he goes on to examine in detail what this may mean in the case of science and technology.
