I am still in the throes of learning this myself, but I would say [logical empiricism](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logical-empiricism/) comes close, or more broadly, [analytic philosophy](https://iep.utm.edu/analytic-philosophy/).

It is common to hear nowadays that “logical positivism has been widely refuted”, but I am at this moment trying to learn more about *why*. As discussed [here](https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/108236/why-did-the-logical-positivists-reject-metaphysics) and [here](https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/108116/71585), I am not fully convinced logical positivism is dead yet, (according to my limited knowledge).
