I consider what we mean, or what is usually meant, by scientific knowledge is to a great extend a magic trick of language and conveys veiled implications. In the present paper I will try to identify, show and reveal some of the mechanisms which inspire or provoke the linguistic-psychological spell whereby the quality of objective reality is bestowed upon scientific knowledge and, by extension, upon its doctrinal derivatives, among them naturalism. Delving into the limits of the scientific comprehension of reality, I will then approach the limitations of naturalism itself, both as a philosophical doctrine and a programme wrapped in the false presumption of objectivity and the truth of scientific discourse.
