The authors investigate alternatives to scientism, the view that science is the proper and exclusive foundation for thinking about and answering every question. They ask: Does the current technoscientific worldview threaten the pursuit of living well? Do the facts procured by technoscientific systems render inconsequential our lived experiences, the wisdom of ancient and contemporary philosophical insight, and the promise offered by time-honored religious beliefs? Drawing on important Western thinkers, including Kant, Nietzsche, Darwin, Heidegger, and others, Linda Wiener and Ramsey Eric Ramsey demonstrate how many of the claims and conclusions of technoscience can and should be challenged. They offer ways of thinking about science in a larger context that respect scientific practice, while taking seriously alternative philosophical modes of thought whose aims are freedom, the good life, and living well. 410 0$aSUNY series in philosophy and biology. 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 676 $a501 700 $aWiener$b Linda$f1957-$0708840 701 $aRamsey$b Ramsey Eric$f1960-$01808786 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966715203321 996 $aLeaving us to wonder$94359241 997 $aUNINA
