Conventionalism
Conventionalism is the philosophical attitude that fundamental principles of a certain kind are grounded on (explicit or implicit) agreements in society, rather than on external reality. Unspoken rules play a key role in the philosophy's structure. Although this attitude is commonly held with respect to the rules of grammar, its application to the propositions of ethics, law, science, biology, mathematics, and logic is more controversial.

conventionalism
Conventionalism refers to the philosophical perspective that many, if not all, fundamental truths are established not based on objective facts or realities, but instead on societal or cultural consensus and conventions. These truths or beliefs can be in varying fields such as ethics, mathematics, science, or linguistics. Simply put, it is the belief that much of what we accept as 'truth' is agreed upon convention rather than universal fact.
