Agnostic (from Ancient Greek ἀ- (a-), meaning 'without', and γνῶσις (gnōsis), meaning 'knowledge') was used by Thomas Henry Huxley in a speech at a meeting of the Metaphysical Society in 1869 to describe his philosophy, which rejects all claims of spiritual or mystical knowledge.
Pojam agnostik (grčki α- a-, bez + γνώσις gnōsis, znanje) Thomas Henry Huxley upotrijebio je u govoru na sastanku Metafizičkog društva 1869. godine kako bi opisao svoju filozofiju koja odbija sve tvrdnje o duhovnom ili mističnom znanju.
