philodicy, philodicer

if "theodicy" (Leibnitz, 1710) was conceived (and is still used) to express an attempt to reconcile a kind of (humanly-understood) justice in the best created world of a believed, ideal(ized) "God" with the realities of evil(s) -- of three types, or more or less -- then philodicy could be a seeking of that justice (dike), just as a philosopher seeks wisdom and a philomath learning.
and as we now already for many decades can hardly seriously maintain such a confidence in competence to write of divine omniscience, omnipotence, omnibenevolence,...as did Leibnitz, et al, it is more realistic to conceive of a seeking to understand the idea of a justice of God.

hence also "philodicer"

philosophy? philalethia? philomathy?

philosophy -- "wisdom"?
     but if few agree that there is and what is "wisdom"
philalethia -- "truth"?
     but if the existence of "truth" is so disputed and disagreed...
philomathy -- learning

philomathically considered

in a time when truth and wisdom (-sophia) are so disputed and disbelieved, it is more realistic to call oneself a philomath than a philosopher, with philomathy rather than philosophy
