Since the time of Bacon, Galileo and Descartes, philosophers have identified strongly with the aims of natural science and the rationality of its methods. This is the first full-length study of scientism, the belief that science is the best and most important branch of learning.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 scientific philosophy.
