A synonym for Hard‑Narrow Scientism, emphasizing its roots in positivist philosophy: the belief that only empirically verifiable knowledge is meaningful, and that anything else is mere speculation or error. Adherents apply this rigidly, rejecting qualitative methods, historical context, and value judgments as “unscientific.” It is a flattened, dogmatic version of positivism that ignores its own historical evolution and internal critiques.
