1. What is Scienticism?

- C.S Lewis refutes Scienticism as a pseudo-scientific philosophy that turns


science into religion instead of just one of many tools humans have to obtain
true knowledge of reality. Lewis commends Science, but refutes Scienticism,
the beliefs or ideology that is the best or only test for truth of any kind.
- Lewis was not anti-science, but was opposed to 'Scienticism', which may be
defined as the “wrong-headed belief that modern science supplies the only
reliable method of knowledge about the world and also- that scientists
should be the ones to dictate public policy and even our moral and religious
beliefs simply on the basis of their scientific expertise”.
