Misión declarada:

Founded in 1976, the Ethics and Public Policy Center is Washington, D.C.’s premier institute dedicated to applying the Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy. From the Cold War to the war on terrorism, from disputes over the role of religion in public life to battles over the nature of the family, EPPC and its scholars have consistently sought to defend the great Western ethical imperatives — respect for the inherent dignity of the human person, individual freedom and responsibility, justice, the rule of law, and limited government (Conservative Transparency)

Philip Mirovski (2008) – The Rise of the Dedicated Natural Science Think Tank – The Social Science Research Council – University of Notre Dame
“The Ethics and Public Policy Center has funded and distributed an entire journal called The New Atlantis 4dedicated to the philosophy and sociology of science, primarily to counter the general popularity of ‘science studies’ within the academy. Nowhere are the responsible parties indicated; and the journal has been circulated for free among many in the history and philosophy of science community. For a journal dedicated to the discussion of “the effects of technology on human life”, it is unerringly filled with neoliberal proscriptions for the kinds of natural science promoted within the think tank community.”

The New Atlantis. A Journal of technology and Society – Edited by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) –  http://www.thenewatlantis.com/
“The New Atlantis is an effort to clarify the nation’s moral and political understanding of all areas of technology … We hope to make sense of the larger questions surrounding technology and human nature … especially where the moral stakes are high and the political divides are deep. We also hope to stir things up to challenge policymakers who know too little about science, and to push scientists who often fail to think seriously or deeply about the ethical and social implications of their work … The New Atlantis (1627) was the title Francis Bacon selected for his fable of a society living with the benefits and challenges of advanced science and technology.”
