Ism

The more philosophical texts I read the more isms I find. For every topic in philosophy there is an ism and these isms are subdivided, as different arguments are made, into further isms. Relativism, positivism, existentialism and so on. All created by philosophers to allow them to easily represent their thinking and where they stand on any given subject.

So philosophy is the art of creating isms. So it should be called Ismism.
