The story
Championed as the science of ideas by Patrick M. Although Gunkel stated on the “About” page of his ideonomy website that “supposedly the word ideonomy was first coined by the French Encyclopedists” to refer to a science of ideas, no direct evidence of this coinage has been found to date.
Today it means
noun A combinatorial "science of ideas", for the categorization and analysis of any kind of idea.
