Defining Scientism
We kick off our book on scientism by doing what we always advocate for – defining our terms. Here, J.P. Moreland is defining scientism and explaining exactly why it is a dangerous ideology. We then go on to list a few examples from the world of politics, social advice, government schools, and even scientists themselves.
