"ism" means "a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement." (mac osx dictionary)

so many topics in philosophy (like rationalism) are labeled by patterns of thinking about ideas

see http://phrontistery.info/isms.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-ism for good lists.
