What is Pseudoscience? : A Look at Global Warming as an Example

(Lecture of the organizer,The 27th Symposium on Life Information Science)

Abstract

Sciences and pseudoscience are characterized by two functions: self-expression and indicative expression, in a manner similar to languages (as expressed by Taka'aki Yoshimoto, a Japanese leading poet and philosopher). Also, from the viewpoints of scientific methodologies and examples from the global warming issue, it has been discussed how pseudosciences can be avoided.
