Can there be a ‘scientific worldview’?: A critical note

In this brief note, a concept of the ‘scientific worldview’ is examined.\udIn particular, contrary to some of the most often misconceptions regarding\udthe concept, it will be argued (1) that there cannot be a ‘scientific\udworldview’ in the traditional sense of a Weltanschauung if science is taken\udin its strictest sense, (2) that the remaining ontological and epistemic skeleton\udcannot be a single unified picture of the world (Weltbild), and (3) that\udthe supposed ‘truth’ of these remaining pictures cannot be unambiguously\udgrounded either in the methodology of science, although the methodology\uditself can be explanatory and predictively adequate and successful, or in the\udtechnological success that is associated with science
