In Defense of the Universal Values of Science. The postmodern notion that empirical scientific knowledge is somehow culturally derived, with little or no objective underpinning, has continued to persist in various social science corners of academia far removed from the rush of scientific progress.

Science has no values. Values are beliefs, usually based on a religion. If you are attributing values to science then you view science in a religious manner, aka you worship the science god. This is as far from science as you can possibly get.

Sure it has values, which are laid out in the scientific method.
