Definition of Agnostecism
Agnosticism, the doctrine which disclaims all knowledge of the
supersensuous, or denies that we know or can know the absolute, the
infinite, or God.
- Wikipedia
Ag*nos"ti*cism (&?;), n. That doctrine
which, professing ignorance, neither asserts nor denies.
Specifically: (Theol.) The doctrine that the existence of a
personal Deity, an unseen world, etc., can be neither proved nor disproved,
because of the necessary limits of the human mind (as sometimes charged
upon Hamilton and Mansel), or because of the insufficiency of the evidence
furnished by physical and physical data, to warrant a positive conclusion
(as taught by the school of Herbert Spencer); -- opposed alike dogmatic
skepticism and to dogmatic theism.
- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
- the view that the existence of any god is unknown at present
- the view that any god's existence is unknowable
- the view that theism is incoherent (see ignosticism)
