Summary/Abstract: A civilization is scientific to the same degree to which assumptions concerning reality - those upon which we base our actions and the decisions that precede them - do no more arise from our experience but are rather products of specialized epistemological practice, i. e. products of an institutionally emancipated scientific practice. The author outlines a situation which is increasingly burdening the political system in modern, scientificized, and highly industrialized societies in which expert knowledge is made use of but is also the object of a sharpening civilization-centred critique.
