Ciencias o cientificismo: una elección ética

Abstract

Science in a broad sense does not seem to predominate today; unfortunately for humanity, scientism does. But when generalizations are made and the subjects who do science are confused with those who adopt the scientist position, thinking of the "scientists" as the enemy to be defeated, are they not as confused in thought as the scientistics? Aren't the later as dogmatic as the former? It is suggested that the first thing to do is to clarify the difference; the second, to recognize what humanity owes to the sciences, and the third, to question all kinds of "isms".
