Description

Wittgenstein and Scientism by Routledge explores the philosopher's critical stance toward scientific overreach, a theme central to his work yet overlooked in existing scholarship. This collection examines the philosophical foundations of Wittgenstein's anti-scientism and demonstrates how this critique shapes his broader philosophical aims and his distinctive approach to philosophy itself. The book provides essential insight into how Wittgenstein's rejection of scientism - the overestimation of science's authority - informs his later conception of philosophy and his attacks on misguided philosophical methods. Readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of Wittgenstein's philosophy of science and his influence on contemporary debates about the limits of scientific explanation will find this study invaluable.

Key Features

Wittgenstein and Scientism is the first scholarly collection to focus specifically on Wittgenstein's anti-scientism as a central and neglected theme in his philosophical work.

The book examines the philosophical basis of Wittgenstein's critique of scientism, revealing how his rejection of scientific overestimation shaped his entire philosophical project.

Explores how Wittgenstein's anti-scientism helps clarify his philosophical aims and informs his later conception of philosophy as a distinct discipline from science.

Provides analysis of the kinds of philosophy Wittgenstein attacked, grounding his criticisms in his fundamental opposition to the overestimation of science.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher, ensuring scholarly rigour and accessibility for philosophy students and researchers.
