Detectivism

/dɪˈtektɪvɪzəm/ noun

Definition

A philosophical or practical approach that emphasizes detective work, investigation, and logical deduction as methods of understanding truth.

Etymology

From 'detective' plus -ism (suffix forming ideologies, practices, or systems of belief/action). A constructed term combining detective methodology with philosophical -ism.

Kelly Says

Detectivism would be the philosophy of 'solving through investigation'—it's basically Sherlock Holmes's worldview made into an official -ism. Language lets us package attitudes into terms that sound serious and systematic!
