 In philosophy of science, Kitcher’s (2001, 2011) model of well-ordered science provides an influential proposal for aligning science and society through democratic negotiation of agenda setting and application. Rather than endorsing direct democratic control of scientific agendas through voting, Kitcher imagines an idealized deliberative process that involves a public that is tutored by the relevant scientific evidence and pluralistic in a fair representation of sometimes incompatible preferences of stakeholders. Well-ordered science therefore aims to articulate a “third way” (Kitcher 2002) between pathologies of direct democratic control of science and an expert-driven technocracy that separates science from society.
