Firstly, we proceed to expose the scientism, a powerful ideology which prevailed in the European universities during the 19th century, and which had been consolidated gradually from the spreading of Pierre-Simon Laplace’s doctrines.

description Firstly, we proceed to expose the scientism, a powerful ideology which prevailed in the European universities during the 19th century, and which had been consolidated gradually from the spreading of Pierre-Simon Laplace’s doctrines. Secondly, we analyze a famous talk given by Du Bois-Reymond in 1872, when he was rector of the University of Berlin and a renowned scientific. In that occasion and unexpectedly for an audience very sympathetic to scientism, Du Bois-Reymond challenged some central tenets of this ideology. Needless to say, that the event gave place to hard and rich discussions in the European academic community of that time. Thirdly, we identify some important consequences of those debates, among them the birth of a methodology for the so called Geistwissenschaften and the broken of the physicalism programme. Finally, we make some critical considerations about the old and actual scientism taking into account what nowadays science tells us about some enigmas of the natural world.
