What is scientology? The word itself cannot properly be defined except that derivatively it means knowing about knowing or science of knowledge. Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, the founder of the cult, said in 1965 that it was the "science of learning how to learn". Scientology grew out of another "science", an earlier Hubbard invention called dianetics, which he described as "the modern science of mental health".
