ਅਬੋਧਵਾਦ ਨੂੰ ਅੰਗਰੇਜ਼ੀ ਵਿੱਚ Agnosticism ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਦੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਧਾਰਮਿਕ ਅਸਲੀਅਤਾਂ, ਖਾਸਕਰ ਰੱਬ ਦੀ ਹੋਂਦ ਬਾਰੇ ਦਾਹਵੇ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਅਧਿਆਤਮਵਾਦੀ ਧਕੌਂਸਲੇ ਆਦਿ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਨਣਾ ਅਸੰਭਵ ਹੈ।[1][2][3] Agnostic ਲਫ਼ਜ਼ ਥਾਮਸ ਹੈਨਰੀ ਹਕਸਲੇ ਨੇ 1869 ਵਿੱਚ ਘੜਿਆ ਸੀ। ਉਸਨੇ ਇਹ ਯੂਨਾਨੀ ਦੇ Gnostic (ਜਾਣਨਾ) ਦੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਏ (a) ਜੋੜ ਕੇ ਬਣਾਇਆ। ਉਸ ਦਾ ਮੰਨਣਾ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਅਲੌਕਿਕ ਅਗਾਧ ਹੈ।

"In the popular sense, an agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves in God, whereas an atheist disbelieves in God. In the strict sense, however, agnosticism is the view that human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist. In so far as one holds that our beliefs are rational only if they are sufficiently supported by human reason, the person who accepts the philosophical position of agnosticism will hold that neither the belief that God exists nor the belief that God does not exist is rational.".
