Default Obsolete Philosophical isms

Consult this Glossary of Philosophical isms and choose one that is obsolete in your opinion. Try to choose one that persists nonetheless.

  1. Why do you think the ideas behind the ism are obsolete?
  2. What leads others to perpetuate these particular ideas that seem to you to be outmoded?
It's a large list, so try not to get lost (unless you like getting lost in isms.)

As a separate bonus question, which is the most amusing ism on that list?
