Understanding Extrascientific Knowledge: A Guide to Non-Scientific Beliefs and Their Limitations

Extrascientific refers to knowledge or beliefs that are not based on scientific evidence or methodology. It can include personal experiences, intuitions, folklore, myths, religious beliefs, and other forms of knowledge that are not grounded in empirical research or observation.

In the context of science, extrascientific knowledge is often considered subjective and not verifiable through scientific methods. Scientific knowledge, on the other hand, is based on empirical evidence, peer-reviewed research, and replicable results.

While extrascientific knowledge can be valuable in certain contexts, it is not considered a reliable basis for making decisions or drawing conclusions about the natural world. In contrast, scientific knowledge is considered more objective and reliable because it is based on systematic observation, experimentation, and verification.
