Recovering Sight after Scientism

By ADF Alliance Alert

Edward Feser writes at Public Discourse: "Seeing that scientism is unsustainable, we must embrace a return to philosophy. The second article in a two-part series. As I argued in part I, scientism?the view that all real knowledge is scientific knowledge?is either self-refuting or trivial. Moreover, consistently pursued, it leads to the 'eliminative materialist' position that the human mind itself is a fiction?that there are no such things as thinking, perceiving, willing, desiring, and so forth. This position is not only incoherent, but undermines the very possibility of science itself?the very thing scientism claims to champion."
