Factualism

/ˈfæktʃuəlɪzəm/ noun

Definition

A philosophical or practical approach that emphasizes facts and objective reality rather than theories, beliefs, or interpretations.

Etymology

From factual (itself from Medieval Latin factum, 'thing done') + -ism (suffix indicating a system or practice). The term emerged in 20th-century philosophy to describe the prioritization of empirical facts over abstract thinking.

Kelly Says

Factualism became especially important during the logical positivist movement, where philosophers literally tried to eliminate subjective language from science—if you couldn't point to a measurable fact, the statement was meaningless to them!
