«Scientisme et sciences sociales» is the essay by Friedrich A. von Hayek on the misuse of reason, published by Presses Pocket in paperback.
Hayek analyses how the study of economic and social phenomena has for a century and a half followed the influence of the natural sciences. Transferring the aims and methods of the exact sciences to collective behaviour can be a tyrannical illusion and a prejudice that underestimates the specific nature of social facts.
French text, translated by Raymond Barre. It consists of 181 pages and forms part of the Agora series (No. 11) from Presses Pocket.
For readers of essays interested in the critique of scientism and in Hayek's thought on the method of the social sciences.
