Parascience
Parascience is a broad category of academic disciplines that are outside the scope of scientific study, or examine phenomena that are not recognised to exist physically. The term covers "non-scientific practices” that are not “pseudoscientific", such as history, philosophy, art, and religion.[1]
Parascience is not pseudoscience. Parascience does not claim to be scientific, unlike pseudoscience, but can work to support scientific disciplines.
