                  1. Is defined as a methodology or a theory "in which the criterion of the truth is not sensory but intellectual and deductive"
                  2. EVOLUTIONISM

                      2. POSITIVISM
                        1. Is a philosophical theory stating that certain ("positive") knowledge is based on natural phenomena and their properties and relations.
                          1. Positivism also holds that society, like the physical world, operates according to general laws. Introspective and intuitive knowledge is rejected, as are metaphysics and theology.
