Rejecting an essentialist approach to scientism as well as the view that ideologies have a solely negative effect on history, it argues that the political effect of ideologies inspired by a belief system (including scientism and various religions) must be judged case by case-and that the appearance of complex politico-scientific problems such as the climate problem in effect warrants some kind of ideological scientism. |
