Well done, sir. I would add that the contagion of logical positivism sickens all three to various degress. I am new to your writing. Have you written previously on logical positivism and scientism?

Hi Harry! I'm sorry for not responding earlier. I have not written on that as of yet. Do you have any reading recommendations?

Well, there are lot articles on scientism and its effects, but few popular masterworks. People these days don't tend to be critical of science worship, although I think recent events have renewed interest.

You can always start with that Comte:

The most serious contemporary critic (that I know of) is Mikael Stenmark. I am reading a book of his now. E. F. Schumacher's, A Guide for the Perplexed, is next, but the book is dated.

I have yet to read this: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/meta.12443#:~:text=The%20other%20major%20global%20criticism,are%20formulated%20by%20scientific%20means.
