Augusto Del Noce and Scientism

 I have been reading in, or letting my mind dapp (fishing technique with dry fly) on ‘The Crisis of Modernity’ by Augusto Del Noce.  How right he is on scientism and the denial of transcendence but it is ironic that the agents of stupidity Marx, Freud and Reich that he castigates are now utterly exploded.  Was it that they had their work to do and having done it they and their works and pomps were dragged down to Hades among the gibbering shades that require footnotes?  Scientism is still dragging its sullen explanations around but during Covid their inadequacy became patent.  True Science should be full of contrary positions but the Follow the Science sort of Science with its one true position must now be seen as foolish.  Of course those clothed in the alb of scientism will never admit that they were wrong and it may be the case that they haven’t realised it yet.  Even philosophers, those village explainers, have been duped or else rendered fatuous by the fear of death.  When this crisis has passed the rump of the mandate friendly thinkers will find their other hand.
