This paper investigates the case of enzyme classification to evaluate different ideals for regulating values in science. I show that epistemic and non-epistemic considerations are inevitably and untraceably entangled in enzyme classification, and argue that this has significant implications for the two main kinds of views on values in science, namely, Epistemic Priority Views and Joint Satisfaction Views. More precisely, I argue that the case of enzyme classification poses a problem for the usability and descriptive accuracy of these two views. The paper ends by suggesting that these two views provide different but complementary perspectives, and that both are useful for evaluating values in science.

酶分类与价值观与认知标准的纠缠

本文研究了酶分类的案例,以评估科学中调节价值的不同理想。我表明认知和非认知考虑不可避免地和不可追踪地纠缠在酶分类中,并认为这对科学价值的两种主要观点具有重要意义,即认知优先观点和联合满意观点。更准确地说,我认为酶分类的情况对这两种观点的可用性和描述准确性提出了问题。本文最后提出,这两种观点提供了不同但互补的观点,并且都有助于评估科学价值。
