Positivism
Definition:
(n.) A system of philosophy originated by M. Auguste Comte, which deals only with positives.

Such relations are denominated laws, which are to be discovered by observation, experiment, and comparison. This philosophy holds all inquiry into causes, both efficient and final, to be useless and unprofitable.
