acrocrity

as there is mediocrity/mediocre
originally "halfway up a mountain," from medius "middle" + ocris "jagged mountain"

so there could be
acrocrity/acrocre "at the top of the mountain" (cf. acropolis)

cacology? cacosophy? pathosophy? demonosophy?

rather than a merely intellectual "theodicy",
or even an "anthropodicy"...
a cacology – knowledge/study of evil)
a cacosophy  wisdom of evil
a pathosophy – wisdom of suffering
even a demonosophy 
are needed.

asophic "philosophy"?

academic philosophy is perhaps less misosophic or sophophobic than asophic

pathodicy? pathosophy?

with "God" dead and/or MIA...
humans must yet nevertheless attempt at explaining suffering
so, if not theodicy
pathodicy
and since pathology is pathological
a pathosophy might be seeking of a wisdom of suffering
