agnostic
意味: A person who believes that the existence of God or the ultimate nature of reality is unknown and unknowable. More broadly, someone who is non-committal or undecided on a particular issue.
Agnostic has expanded well beyond its religious origins into technology and business jargon — platform agnostic, technology agnostic, brand agnostic — meaning 'not committed to any particular option.' In its original philosophical sense, it occupies a middle ground between theism and atheism, asserting the limits of human knowledge. The term was coined by T.H. Huxley in 1869 and remains closely associated with Victorian intellectual culture.
