A specific instance of ideological science, referring to science functioning as an ideology—a comprehensive worldview that claims exclusive access to truth, delegitimizes other ways of knowing, and demands allegiance rather than engagement. Scientific ideology often appears in debates where “science” is invoked as a sacred authority, where critics are labeled “anti‑science” regardless of their actual arguments, and where the institutional structures of science (peer review, funding, hiring) are treated as infallible rather than as human systems that can be wrong. It is science when it stops being a practice and becomes a belief system.
