Ethics in Social Science Research: A Note for Discussion

Abstract

Some questions relevant in the context of ethics in social science research are: Does social science have peculiarities which are masked by discussions on science at large? Given the need for objectivity in scientific inquiry can theory laden-ness be kept sufficiently distinct from value laden-ness? Can social sciences steer clear of arguments for and against relativism in ethics? There is a need to developing an exhaustive understanding of ethics associated with social enquiries and modalities of ensuring their integration across different levels and agencies of social research.
