abstract="Today &quot;scientism&quot; is a pejorative concept in every language. But isn't that just a projection made in order to exploit the fear of &quot;science&quot;? The article develops the argument that scientism is a historical current which can be analyzed in a concrete way. It shows that the word goes back to the 19(th) century and got its negative emphasis when &quot;scientific&quot; spiritism on the one hand and Catholicism on the other were struggling against the &quot;exaggerated&quot; claims of natural science.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>",
