zetetic (zuh-TET-ik) - (philos.) adj., proceeding by inquiry or investigation.


Sometimes specifically in a way associated with the Ancient Greek school of extreme skepticism known as Pyrrhonism -- constantly seeking the truth without assumptions, including about the reliability of our own senses or reason. From Ancient Greek zētētikós, “inquisitive, keen”), from zētein, to seek/inquire.
