Philosophy, Science, and a Bunch of Other Stuff

Scientism

May 22, 2014  /  Pete Mandik

Richard and Pete welcome their new scientismicological overlords and hope they find their nifty blue shirts pleasing.

Hosts of the SpaceTimeMind podcast, philosophers of science Richard Brown and Pete Mandik, discuss scientism. Is everything worth knowing accessible via the methods of science? If so, how would you know that? Can scientism be self-justifying? Is it instead self-refuting? Is calling something "scientific" just an empty honorific?
