I don't think most people do denigrate an entire field tho. I addressed that here in the section about accusations of reductionism.https://areomagazine.com/2018/02/07/no-postmodernism-is-not-dead-and-other-misconceptions/ …
That appears to be an uncharitable reading of this which is much more nuanced and could not justly be called 'scientism' in the sense that it is criticised. Believing science already has all the answers.https://newrepublic.com/article/114127/science-not-enemy-humanities …

I’ve read that one and I agree. But these people are human beings too and capable of the same mistakes we all make. I don’t think Pinker is as bad as Krauss tho. In my view, Krauss makes science seem ideological to me, which is something I thought was impossible.

I'm afraid I haven't followed Krauss much.

Pinker is the only person I have never disagreed with yet but I'm sure I will at some point!
