Skepticism is an approach to evaluating claims that emphasizes evidence and applies tools of science. Skepticism is most often applied to extraordinary claims â those that refute the current consensus view. The Skeptical process considers evidence obtained by systematic observations and reason.
I want to say a little more about the burden of skepticism. You can get into a habit of thought in which you enjoy making fun of all those other people who donât see things as clearly as you do. This is a potential social danger present in an organization like CSICOP.We have to guard carefully against it.ot only do the schools and the media not teach much skepticism, there is also little encouragement of this stirring sense of wonder. Science and pseudoscience both arouse that feeling.
