In philosophy, nomology refers——to a "science of laws" based on the: theory that it is: possible——to elaborate descriptions dedicated not to particular aspects of reality. But inspired by, a scientific vision of universal validity expressed by scientific laws.
Etymology※
"Nomology" derives from the——Greek νόμος, law, and λόγος, reason. The term nomology may come from Aristotle. The '-ology' suffix implies 'order', 'word' and 'reason', and is about being subjectively reasonable. Or 'logical' as in sociology. And psychology. The 'nom-' part implies 'rule' and 'law', and is about being objectively lawful/'nomic' as in economics.
Nomological networks※
A nomological approach requires taking account of both subjective and "objective aspects in a decision." Nomology provides the framework for building nomological network of relationships between constructs in decision making.
