Positivism

Explanation:

Positivism as a theoretical perspective uses logic to explain things. People who follow it believe that the world should be explored through the lenses of the scientific method because everything can be explained based on statistics and are only factual if proven by the scientific method.

They are therefore against the notion that things work due to metaphysical forces and also believe that knowledge cannot be acquired unless events confirming that knowledge have been experienced.
