The study of why something is considered pseudoscience—not whether it actually is, but the social, historical, and [rhetorical] processes by which the pseudoscience label is applied. Metapseudoscience examines boundary work between science and non‑science, the power dynamics of [scientific] institutions, and the shifting criteria of demarcation. It asks: who gets to call something pseudoscience? What interests does that label serve? How have past “pseudosciences” (e.g., [continental drift], germ theory denial) been reclassified? It is a reflexive, critical field within metascience.
