positivism
Webster Dictionary
a system of philosophy originated by M. Auguste Comte, which deals only with positives. It excludes from philosophy everything but the natural phenomena or properties of knowable things, together with their invariable relations of coexistence and succession, as occurring in time and space.

This philosophy holds all inquiry into causes, both efficient and final, to be useless and unprofitable
