Radicalism

Japanese: 急進主義 - きゅうしんしゅぎ
Radicalism
A translation of the English word radicalism, derived from the Latin radix (root). It generally refers to a position or attitude that fundamentally criticizes the existing political or social system, ideology, and beliefs based on certain principles and rules, and seeks to change them rapidly and completely. It is opposed to "gradualism" and is close to "fundamentalism." It can be found in all times and places, but since the emergence of Marxism as a theory of revolution, and especially since the "May Revolution" (1968), this word has sometimes been used in a positive sense to refer to various movements.

ラテン語radix(根)に由来する英語ラディカリズムradicalismなどの訳。一般にある原理・原則にもとづき,既成の政治体制ないし社会体制,思想・信条を根底的に批判し,これを急激かつトータルに変革していこうとする立場や態度をいう。〈漸進主義〉に対立し,〈原理主義〉に近しい。あらゆる時代と場所に見出されるが,革命の理論たるマルクス主義の登場以降,さらにはとりわけ〈五月革命〉(1968年)以降の諸運動に,この語が積極的な意味合いで冠せられることがある。
