Traditionalism
is the adherence to traditional beliefs or practices.
The noun
traditionalist describes a person who believes the old ways are best.
The fundamental Traditionalist
principle is that truth, which includes morality, is both knowable and
unchanging.
Traditionalism,
in the context of 19th-century Catholicism, refers to a theory which held that
all metaphysical, moral, and religious knowledge derives from God's revelation
to man and is handed down in an unbroken chain of tradition. It denied that
human reason by itself has the power to attain to any truths in these domains
of knowledge. It arose, mainly in Belgium and France, as a reaction to
18th-century rationalism and can be considered an extreme form of
anti-rationalism. The fundamental distrust of human reason underlying
traditionalism was eventually condemned in a number of papal decrees.
an Islamic
school of thought that first emerged during the 2nd/3rd Islamic centuries of
the Islamic era (late 8th and 9th century CE) as a movement of hadith scholars
who considered the Quran and authentic hadith to be the only authority in
matters of law and creed.
Traditionalist
conservatism in the United States is a political, social philosophy and variant
of conservatism based on the philosophy and writings of Aristotle and Edmund
Burke.[1]
Traditional conservatives
emphasize the bonds of social order over hyper-individualism and the defense of
ancestral institutions. Traditionalist conservatives believe in a transcendent
moral order, manifested through certain natural laws to which they believe
society ought to conform in a prudent manner.Traditionalist conservatives also emphasize the rule of law in securing
individual liberty.
a
description of something in formal mathematical or logical terms.
"there
is a formalism which expresses the idea of superposition"
The term
formalism describes an emphasis on form over content or meaning in the arts,
literature, or philosophy. A practitioner of formalism is called a formalist. A
formalist, with respect to some discipline, holds that there is no transcendent
meaning to that discipline other than the literal content created by a
practitioner. For example, formalists within mathematics claim that mathematics
is no more than the symbols written down by the mathematician, which is based
on logic and a few elementary rules alone. This is as opposed to
non-formalists, within that field, who hold that there are some things inherently
true, and are not, necessarily, dependent on the symbols within mathematics so
much as a greater truth. Formalists within a discipline are completely
concerned with "the rules of the game," as there is no other external
truth that can be achieved beyond those given rules. In this sense, formalism
lends itself well to disciplines based upon axiomatic systems.
In religion.
Formalism in
religion means an emphasis on ritual and observance over their meanings. Within
Christianity, the term legalism is a derogatory term that is loosely synonymous
to religious formalism.
