Is Scientism and Values in the public domain?
Believed so. US works published between 1932 and 1963 kept copyright past 28 years only if someone filed a renewal, and no renewal for this work was found in the Catalog of Copyright Entries. That is a search result rather than a legal opinion: a renewal filed under a shortened title or a different claimant would not have been found. Some copies carry a rights notice, which records the original claim and does not extend a term that lapsed.
Who wrote Scientism and Values?
Helmut Schoeck (1922–1993) was an Austrian-German sociologist and writer best known for his work Envy: A Theory of Social Behavior. This archive holds 4 of Schoeck's works.
