Science as a quasi-religion
Recently, I picked up a new course at the university, which is more focused on the ethical and philosophical side of technology than the others. As a preliminary assignment, I was asked for a comment on a podcast called “Zukunft Denken”, lead by the lecturer. My episode of choice was 106 - Wissenschaft als Ersatzreligion? Ein Gespräch mit Manfred Glauninger (“Science as a replacement religion? A talk with Manfred Glauninger”). The following article is my comment on the topic and I hope you enjoy reading it. Since this course is ongoing, there will be a series of such short articles. So, without further ado and with God’s grace, let’s get into it.
