[[Image:Phrenologychart.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Phrenology]] is regarded today as a classic example of pseudoscience.]]
'''Pseudosains''' adalah sebuah pengetahuan, metodologi, keyakinan, atau praktek yang diklaim sebagai ilmiah tapi tidak mengikuti [[metode ilmiah]].<!--<ref>"''Pseudoscientific - pretending to be scientific, falsely represented as being scientific''", from the ''Oxford American Dictionary'', published by the [[Oxford English Dictionary]].</ref> Pseudosciences may appear scientific, but they do not adhere to the [[testability]] requirement of the scientific method<ref name=cps>For example, Hewitt et al. ''Conceptual Physical Science'' Addison Wesley; 3 edition (July 18, 2003) ISBN 0-321-05173-4, Bennett et al. ''The Cosmic Perspective'' 3e Addison Wesley; 3 edition (July 25, 2003) ISBN 0-8053-8738-2</ref> and are often in conflict with current [[scientific consensus]].
The term ''pseudoscience'' appears to have been first used in [[1843]]<ref>Magendie, F (1843) ''An Elementary Treatise on Human Physiology.'' 5th Ed. Tr. John Revere. New York: Harper, p 150. Magendie refers to phrenology as "''a pseudo-science of the present day''" (note the hyphen).</ref> as a combination of the [[Greek language|Greek]] root ''pseudo'', meaning false, and the [[Latin]] ''scientia'', meaning knowledge or a field of knowledge. The term has [[pejorative|negative connotations]], because it is used to indicate that subjects so labeled are inaccurately or deceptively portrayed as science.<ref>However, from the "them vs. us" polarization that its usage engenders, the term may also have a positive function because "''[the] derogatory labeling of others often includes an unstated self-definition'' "(p.266); and, from this, the application of the term also implies "''a unity of science, a privileged tree of knowledge or space from which the pseudoscience is excluded, and the user's right to belong is asserted'' " (p.286) -- Still A & Dryden W (2004) "The Social Psychology of "Pseudoscience": A Brief History", ''J Theory Social Behav'' 34:265-290</ref> Accordingly, those labeled as practicing or advocating a "pseudoscience" normally reject this classification.
