Böcker av Mikael Stenmark

Mikael Stenmark examines four models of rationality and argues for a discussion of rationality that takes into account the function and aim of such human practices as science and religion.

This text takes as its starting point the lack of clarity inherent in the notion of a "global" or "holistic" ethic and how this is distinct from the traditional, or "old" ethic. The overall aim is to identify the values on which the notion of sustainable development is based.

In this text,scientists' views about science and its relationship to knowledge, ethics and religion are subjected to critical scrutiny. It asks if science can teach how to live morally and if it should be our new religion. The author concludes that Scientism is disguised materialism or naturalism.
