Scientistic Chronicles: Exploring the Limits, if Any, of the Scientific Enterprise

Massimo Pigliucci

4/5 ( ratings)

A collection of essays by various authors who contributed to the online magazine Scientia Salon, devoted to bringing science and philosophy to a general public. The essays focus on the issue of scientism. Depending on whom you ask, the term refers either to a tendency to make science into an all-encompassing ideology, or to the assumed to be reasonable notion that science is the only reliable source of knowledge. The 16 essays in this volume span a wide range of opinions about scientism, some directly addressing the use and understanding of the term, some tackling instead a number of specific issues that often come up in discussions surrounding scientism.
