Tom Sorell

Scientism

Philosophy and the Infatuation with Science

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Tom Sorell is critical of the scientistic tendency in philosophy. However, he does not seek to denigrate science. Rather, he argues that the arts and humanities are undervalued. Sorell insists that philosophy is not science and condemns recent attempts in the name of 'naturalism' to revive the project of a scientific philosophy.
