13Public Trust and Biotech Innovation: A Theory of Trustworthy Regulation of (Scary!) TechnologySocial Philosophy and Policy 38 (2): 29-49. 2021.Regulatory agencies aim to protect the public by moderating risks associated with innovation, but a good regulatory regime should also promote justified public trust.

On the theory advanced here, to be trustworthy, a regulatory regime must (1) fairly and effectively manage risk, must be (2) “science based” in the relevant sense, a…Read more

Minteer & Sahotra Sarkar (eds.), A Sustainable Philosophy—the Work of Bryan Norton, Springer Verlag. 2018.Concepts of sustainability guide policy and environmental management decisions. But when goals are articulated badly, they provide poor decision guides, and may lead to serious mistakes.

They believe and argue that, if IPRs are good, more IPRs must be better.”1 But “on the other side”, he co…Read more
