| Existential Risk Prevention as Global Priority (2012) By Nick Bostrom.Abstract:Existential risks are those that threaten the entire future of humanity.

| Differentiating Scientific Inquiry and Politics with Heather Douglas Over the past two decades, our view of the ideals for science in society has changed. Discussions of the roles for values in science and changes in the views on the responsibilities in science have shifted the understanding of science from ideally value-free to properly value-laden. This shift, however, seems to remove a key difference between science and politics, as now both science and politics are value-laden, and disputes in both can arise from value disagreements.
