I found a list of over 200 different -isms.
http://phrontistery.info/isms.html
For example:
utilitarianism - belief that utility of actions determines moral value
realism - doctrine that objects of cognition are real
naturalism - belief that the world can be explained in terms of natural force
It is definitely a useful website to keep on tabs.

This is a great point. I haven't learned these over my high school career and it has led to many google searches. It's kind of annoying how people add -ism to things and it becomes a concept, though.
ReplyDeleteI think another ism that would apply to the underground man is materialism. For instance he goes out and buys all new clothes just to attempt to run into the solider. I think he is preoccupied with stuff and what stuff can say about someone. He wants to be percieved as something he is not.
