This paper discusses the important role and influence of scientism in the development of modern society. Scientism, which takes science as the supreme authority and pursues objective truth and empirical knowledge, has a profound influence on modern society. By defining the concept of scientism and combing the historical context, this paper analyzes the embodiment of scientism in the political, economic, cultural and social life of modern society. At the same time, this paper also discusses the interaction between scientism and the development of modern society, that is, how scientism promotes the development of modern society, and how the development of modern society influences scientism in turn. Finally, this paper summarizes the positive role and potential problems of scientism in the development of modern society, and puts forward the future development direction and suggestions.
