The Mantle of Science
from Mises Media · host Murray N. Rothbard
In this 1960 essay, Murray Rothbard warns critics of scientism not to concede the very term science to positivist methodology. He reclaims scientia as “correct knowledge,” and defends the idea that economics and the social sciences can be rigorously scientific through sound reasoning about purposeful human action, without pretending to be physics.
