The recent coronavirus pandemic proved that the time-old notion seems now truer than ever: that science and politics represent a clash of cultures. But why should scientists simply "stick to the facts" and leave politics to the politicians when the world seems to be falling down around us?
Drawing on his experience as both a research scientist and an expert advisor at the centre of government, Ian Boyd takes an empirical approach to examining the current state of the relationship between science and politics. He argues that the way politicians and scientists work together today results in a science that is on tap for ideological (mis)use, and governance that fails to serve humanity's most fundamental needs. Justice is unlikely--perhaps impossible--while science is not a fully integrated part of the systems for collective decision-making across society.
In Science in Politics, Boyd presents an impassioned argument for a series of conceptual and structural innovations that could resolve this fundamental tension, revealing how a radical intermingling of these (apparently contradictory) professions might provide the world with better politics and better science.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
最近的冠狀病毒疫情證明了這個古老的觀念現在似乎比以往任何時候都更真實：科學與政治代表著文化的衝突。但是，當世界似乎在我們周圍崩潰時，科學家為什麼應該僅僅「堅持事實」，而將政治留給政治家呢？
伊恩·博伊德（Ian Boyd）根據他作為研究科學家和政府中心專家顧問的經驗，採取實證的方法來檢視科學與政治之間當前的關係狀態。他主張，今天政治家與科學家之間的合作方式導致了科學被用於意識形態的（誤）用，並且治理未能滿足人類最基本的需求。在科學未能完全融入社會集體決策系統的情況下，正義不太可能實現——或許是不可能的。
在《科學與政治》（Science in Politics）一書中，博伊德提出了一系列概念和結構創新的熱情論點，這些創新可以解決這一根本的緊張關係，揭示了這些（顯然矛盾的）職業的激進交融如何能為世界提供更好的政治和更好的科學。
