Uwagi o stosunku scjentyzmu do optymizmu poznawczego
Some remarks on scientism and epistemological optimism

Summary/Abstract: Using a comprehensive quotation from a book of Władysław Krajewski a characteristic of moderate scientism (to be called scientism below) is given. That is the stance I share with Krajewski. I complement the characteristic presenting scientism as an approved by me „naïve trust in science”. In the main part of the paper I discuss, however, the limitations imposed by contemporary science on the traditional epistemological optimism of scientism.
