Quote from ‘L [R]’

Term: 
Cenoscopy
Quote: 

Beside [the] idioscopic sciences, there are others which analyze and reason from phenomena that are perfectly familiar to all mankind. Because these are founded on common observation, Bentham gave them the collective designation Cenoscopy, which I adopt as expressive of my own opinion of the basis on which these sciences, which are otherwise called Philosophy, rest.
