Introduction | Criticisms of Scientism. Scientism is the broad-based belief that the assumptions and methods of research of the physical and natural sciences are equally appropriate (or even essential) to all other disciplines, including philosophy, the humanities and the social sciences.
Philosophers such as Alexander Rosenberg have also appropriated scientism as a name for the view that science is the only reliable source of knowledge.Scientism may refer to science applied in excess.The term scientism can apply in either of two senses: 1  To indicate the improper usage of science or scientific claims. An example of this second usage is to label as scientism any attempt to claim science as the only or primary source of human values (a traditional domain of ethics) or as the source of meaning and purpose (a traditional domain of religion and related worldviews).
