Chapter 3 If Germs could Sponsor Research: Reflections on Sympathetic Connections among Subjects and Researchers

Sandra J. Peart and David M. Levy

A chapter in Experts and Epistemic Monopolies, 2012, pp 19-35 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: Our approach is largely historical, argument by example. We leave it to the theoreticians and empiricists to take the argument in a more technical direction.1Throughout, we suppose that germs are self-interested and they have a research question, for example, how might our species improve the chances of survival, the answer to which might potentially benefit germs (or, harm them by less).
