Wittgenstein criticised prevailing attitudes toward the sciences.
The target of his criticisms was 'scientism': what he described as
'the overestimation of science'. This collection is the first study
of Wittgenstein's anti-scientism - a theme in his work that is
clearly central to his thought yet strikingly neglected by the
existing literature. The book explores the philosophical basis of
Wittgenstein's anti-scientism; how this anti-scientism helps us
understand Wittgenstein's philosophical aims; and how this
underlies his later conception of philosophy and the kind of
philosophy he attacked. An outstanding team of international
contributors articulate and critically assess Wittgenstein's views
on scientism and anti-scientism, making Wittgenstein and Scientism
essential reading for students and scholars of Wittgenstein's work,
on topics as varied as the philosophy of mind and psychology,
philosophical practice, the nature of religious belief, and the
place of science in modern culture. Contributors: Jonathan Beale,
William Child, Annalisa Coliva, David E. Cooper, Ian James Kidd,
James C. Klagge, Daniele Moyal-Sharrock, Rupert Read, Genia
Schoenbaumsfeld, Severin Schroeder, Benedict Smith, and Chon
Tejedor.
