Philosophy of science category
I'm restoring the philosophy of science category, which was understandably removed for lacking evidence. Here's an excerpt from Fashionable Nihilism:

"[Scientism] is the view that only science can know. Scientism cannot be supported by science itself. For to substantiate the claim that other ways of knowing are fraudulent, or at least unreliable, would require that science pursue these putative ways of knowing and determine that they get us nowhere. But to pursue these other ways reliably would require science to abandon its own proven methods and scope of validity. Or, science would be required to rule a priori and arbitrarily that the other ways couldn't possibly be effective in their subject matter areas. Either way, science oversteps itself. Scientism is ideology, not science. The simple fact is, not all questions or issues can be resolved by any single method, scientific or otherwise."

Most of the book is loosely related to the philosophy of science, that is just an example of a particularly explicit excerpt. — xDanielx T/C 18:34, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
