Learning from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic 2020-11-03 .txt text/plain 1740 67 49 Kitcher's ideal should play a role in assessing the allocation of research resources in future crisis situations, as it provides a way to balance highly divergent interests and incorporate the common good into decision-making processes on research. I want to suggest that one way of doing better is to explicitly pose the question what the common good in a crisis such as the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic encompasses, and how during such a crisis and its aftermath research can be directed toward accommodating the needs of all. While this cannot and should not replace an ongoing global dialogue about how research can serve the common good in times of crisis, making Kitcher's ideal more concrete and familiarizing researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders with it (which both are tasks for philosophers of science) will be a first step in the right direction. ./cache/cord-329328-c6svx4qa.txt ./txt/cord-329328-c6svx4qa.txt
