The Problem of Scientism and the Intelligibiity of the Universe.

Scientism says knowledge of the universe is always subject to and validated by the inductive method.
Therefore all knowledge of the universe is measured only by the knowledge attained through science.
But science is only concerned with the nature of bodies.
Therefore the act of knowledge itself is subject to science.
What is subject to science is a body.
Consequently, the act of knowledge itself is a body.
A body is material.
Then according to scientism, the act of knowledge itself is material.

But, knowledge of a body is the ability of a body to be intelligible.
And the intelligible is in the abstract.
For the abstract is that which is in the universal and raised above matter.
What is in the universal and raised above matter is then immaterial.
For the material is always in the singular and individual.
But the abstract is had without the singular and individual.
Abstract knowledge of bodies is then an immaterial act.

But if scientism is true, knowledge is material.
Therefore if scientism is true and knowledge is material, knowledge is not knowledge.
Therefore no knowledge is had through scientism.
Therefore scientism is false.
Or knowledge in the abstract is had through scientism and scientism is false.
Either way, scientism is false.

Discussion - Science presumes the true anthropology derived in philosophical psychology, where it is shown that man has an intellect to know the natures of bodies in the abstract. The intellective act of knowing in the abstract is the act of the intellect raising forms above matter. Such an act of abstraction can only be performed by a power within man that is non-bodily and spiritual.

Intellective knowledge is an act beyond the restraints of the false worldview of scientism that requires intellective knowledge to be a material act of an organ such as the brain. Scientism assumes a false anthropology and is therefore inhuman.
