(Redirected from
Pseudoskepticism)
Pathological Skepticism or Pseudoskepticism is a class of pseudoscience masquerading as proper Skepticism. A person who claims to support Reason and the scientific worldview, but frequently uses logical fallacies, attempts to silence opponents, and employs various strategies of persuasion is a Skeptic in name only: a pseudo-skeptic.
The terms Pathological skepticism and Pseudoskepticism were coined in the early 1990s in response to the skeptic groups who apply the label of "Pathological Science" to fields which might be better described as protoscience.
