"In Creativity: Ethics and Excellence in Science, Mike W. Martin explores the moral dimensions of creativity in science in a systematic and comprehensive way.
A work of applied philosophy, professional ethics, and philosophy of science, this book argues that scientific creativity often constitutes moral creativity - the production of new and morally variable outcomes.
At the same time, creative ambitions have a dark side that can lead to professional misconduct and harmful effects on society and the environment."--Jacket.
