Scientism is the belief or viewpoint that scientific knowledge is the most authoritative and valid form of knowledge, and that it should be applied to all areas of inquiry, including those traditionally considered to be outside the realm of science, such as ethics, philosophy, and the arts. Proponents of scientism assert that empirical evidence obtained through the scientific method is the most reliable way to understand the world and to make decisions.
