It is often seen as equivalent to, or somewhat different from, the term (scientific) [[skepticism]] (French: scepticisme (scientifique)), and is widely used in the modern skeptical movement in France for self-identification. > > [!wikipedia] [Marcello Truzzi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcello%20Truzzi) > > [[Marcello Truzzi]] promoted the term "zeteticism" as an alternative to "[[skepticism]]", because he thought that the latter term was being usurped by what he termed "[[Pseudoskepticism|pseudoskeptics]]". A zetetic is a "skeptical seeker". > This is ironic, as Zeteticism was already connected to [[Flat Earthers]] by [[Samuel Rowbotham]]. ^[[[video - Flat Earth Science -- Wrong, but not Stupid#History]]] ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > No results to show for list query. > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[video - Flat Earth Science -- Wrong, but not Stupid]] > - [[Flat Earthers refuse evidence that science is reliable]]
