Lists of skepticism topics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Lists about skepticism)

Scientific skepticism (also spelled scepticism) is the practice of questioning whether claims are supported by empirical research and have reproducibility, as part of a methodological norm pursuing "the extension of certified knowledge".[1] Scientific skepticism, or skepticism for short, manifests itself since the 20th century as a societal phenomenon involving several individuals and more or less organised groups through several different media, commonly referred to as "the skeptical movement".[2] This is a compilation of the various lists about skepticism with articles in Wikipedia.
