Note(s) : Notes bibliogr. Index
Wittgenstein wrote critically about science, accusing it of "putting man to sleep".
This volume is the first study of Wittgenstein's scientism - a theme in his work that
is both clearly central to his thought yet strikingly neglected by the existing literature.
This volume 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.
The chapters explore and articulate Wittgenstein's views on scientism and anti-scientism,
critically assess them, and consider how they apply to topics such as mind and psychology,
philosophical practice, the nature of religious belief, and the place of science in
modern culture
