Can there be a 'scientific worldview'? A Critical Note
Postoji li „naučni pogled na svet“? Kritička beleška
Abstract
In this brief note, a concept of the ‘scientific worldview’ is examined.
In particular, contrary to some of the most often misconceptions regarding
the concept, it will be argued (1) that there cannot be a ‘scientific
worldview’ in the traditional sense of a Weltanschauung if science is taken
in its strictest sense, (2) that the remaining ontological and epistemic skeleton
cannot be a single unified picture of the world (Weltbild), and (3) that
the supposed ‘truth’ of these remaining pictures cannot be unambiguously
grounded either in the methodology of science, although the methodology
itself can be explanatory and predictively adequate and successful, or in the
technological success that is associated with science.
