I want to know the answer to the following question:
What did scientism aim to do?
All the background I'm provided with is that "They described as well differences between the idealized model of a pure science and the actual scientific practice; while scientism, a revival of the positivism approach, saw in precise measurement and rigorous calculation the basis for finally settling enduring metaphysical and moral controversies.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
