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

divine obscuration? human obfuscation?
as there are "divine revelations" (whatever one may think or believe as to their veracities), so there can be concieved "divine obscuration"
as if eg the reported ancient light on Sinai had become so faint as to be barely discernible, obscurable centuries later
and it might be added that any divine revelation was certainly subject to human obfuscation a la theology

Ideensgeschichte -- "Vermutungsgeschichte"?
as there is a history of ideas: Ideensgeschichte,
so there c/should be a history of (conscious, un/semi-conscious) assumptions: Vermutungsgeschichte.

self-bespelling, self-bespellment, self-lulling
when
someone, as it were, puts a spell over their self with words to believe or accept
something. a kind of self-lulling.
(conceived while reading Life of the World to Come: Near-death Experience & Christian Hope
(Albert Cardinal Meyer Lectures), 1996, about the relation of Christian beliefs and modern NDEs, Near-Death Experiences.)

ideography
as there is geography, so there could be an ideography, a kind of world of ideas, mapped, as it were, in which one travels, explores, become an experiential traveler, even a guide. not the physical world, but that of ideas conceived as a single world.
and if there is a publication National Geography, so to there might be eg an historical ideography

pneumagraphy
as there is
geology (from the Greek γῆ, gê, "earth" and λόγος, logos,
"study")
and as there is pedagogy, so to there could be pneumagogy (a schooling of spirit)
and
geography (from Greek γεωγραφία, geographia, lit. "earth
description")
and as
there is pneumatology (from the greek πνευμα, pneuma, spirit and λογος, logos,
teaching about)
so there could be pneumagraphy (from Greek πνεύμαραφία, pneumagraphia, lit.
"spirit description")
and as there is pedagogy, so to there could be pneumagogy (a schooling of spirit)
(and to psychology, psychography)
