Pseudoscience "is a term applied to a field of inquiry by critics claiming that it is a pretended or spurious science because it does not meet established standards. The term is reserved for fields that claim to be a science, that make claims about the world and give explanations of natural processes. Statements of personal values or beliefs are neither scientific nor pseudoscientific, nor are works of art or literature."
