Questions for a Good Society: Concluding Thoughts

Ellen Mutari

Chapter Chapter 10 in Alternative Perspectives of a Good Society, 2012, pp 191-195 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract On my office door is a photocopy of a well-worn scrap of paper cut from a copy of the New York Times three years ago. It is a quote that the editors had highlighted from an article on genetic science—not that I ever read the whole article. The quotation by Eric S. Lander of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard drew my attention: You can never capture something like an economy, a genome or an ecosystem with one model or one taxonomy—it all depends on the questions you want to ask.
