"Science Unlimited? tries to establish a clarity to the debate over
the scope and limits of scientific knowledge, and whether there are
forms of knowledge other than the scientific. With breadth and
topicality, the contributors' arguments critical of and defending
scientism ring true. This book will appeal to a wide range of
scholars, including those working in the fields of (obviously)
philosophy, but also the sciences themselves, religion-based
specialties, and the humanities in general."--John S. Wilkins,
author of "Species: A History of the Idea"
"What is scientism? Can there be too much science? What are the
limits in the pursues of science? Is there room for other valid
ways of knowing? Can science address questions of religion,
morality, philosophy, alternative medicine, and economics? What is
the relation between science and the humanities or the social
sciences? How does scientism affect politics, from education to
health care? Science unlimited is a collection of chapters
addressing all kinds of questions about all kinds of meanings of
scientism."--Renia Gasparatou "Science & Education"
