Antiempirical

/ˌæntiɛmˈpɪrɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Opposed to empirical methods; rejecting evidence based on direct observation and experimentation.

Etymology

From anti- + empirical (the adjectival form of empiricism). This term became common in philosophical and scientific discourse in the 19th-20th centuries.

Kelly Says

Some pseudoscientific claims are deliberately antiempirical—they actually reject experimental testing and evidence, which is the opposite of how real science works and why they're not taken seriously by researchers.
