作者: Tom Sorell (Author)
出版社: Routledge; Reprint edition (May 31, 1994)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0415107717
ISBN-13: 978-0415107716
Book Description
Now available in paper, this acclaimed work shows how Western philosophy has been dominated by an identification with the aims of science and the rationality of its methods. This has resulted in attempts to either dismiss the unscientific or put it on a scientific footing. Tom Sorell attempts to increase the value placed on the arts and humanities, rather than devalue science. He insists that philosophy is not a science and condemns recent attempts in the name of "naturalism" to revive the project of a scientific philosophy.
Review
". . . the discussion of philosophers' fascination with science is stimulating and highly recommended." -- Times Higher Education Supplement
"This badly needed book is the first full-length treatment by an analytic philosopher of the authority of science in Western culture." -- Choice
"This is a fresh look at scientism, serious and helpful . . . extremely welcome." -- Mary Midgley
