Title: Causally Modeling the Value-Free Ideal
Abstract:
In science-and-values discussions, the value-free ideal (VFI) is sometimes glossed as the thesis that non-epistemic values’ influences on scientific reasoning are never legitimate. Although “influence” is a causal notion, discussions of the VFI have not engaged the vast literature on causal modeling. In this paper, I propose some useful ways in which causal models can be used to sharpen this variant of the VFI. Doing so reveals underappreciated burdens of proof in debates about the VFI.
