Societalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An approach to the viewing of society based on understandings of its diachronic, structural, secular, material?, functional relations as opposed to historical, metaphysical/symbolic, religious/cultural/ethnic understandings.
Societalism runs counter to the premises of racialism, religious, essentialism, socio-biological, traditional hierarchical, postmodern, subcultural and mass media views of society.
