literalism

;)

Pseudoscience and religious literalism. In other words, sheer bunkum.

contextualism--look at clues surrounding the passage to infer its meaning.

literalism--interpret exactly as written

It is also clear that the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. The context may well determine whether a certain passage is to be taken literally or figuratively. Thus, a literal interpretation is called for unless indicated otherwise by the context. The two go hand in hand.

The antonym for philosophy could be literalism or dogma, as these terms represent rigid beliefs or adherence to strict ideology without critical thinking or exploration.
