单词 quietism
释义

quietismn.

Brit. /ˈkwʌɪᵻtɪz(ə)m/, U.S. /ˈkwaɪəˌtɪz(ə)m/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: quiet adj., -ism suffix.
Etymology: < quiet adj. + -ism suffix, after quietist n. Compare post-classical Latin quietismus (1688 or earlier), French quiétisme (1688), German Quietismus (1688 or earlier).It is not clear whether Italian quietismo was also in use as early as this; it is apparently first attested in 1698 (although quietista is found in 1681: see quietist n.). Molinos (in 1675) uses Italian contemplazione perfetta perfect contemplation, contemplazione passiva passive contemplation, etc. to describe his system, which in his terminology constitutes the most advanced stage of contemplation more generally, which he calls orazione di quiete (literally ‘prayer of stillness’) in the Italian text of his Guida spirituale (which forms the basis of most later transmission), and Spanish oración de quietud in the apparently underlying Spanish edition (also 1675).
1. Usually in form Quietism. A form of religious mysticism based on the teaching of the Spanish priest Miguel de Molinos (c1640–97), rejecting outward forms of devotion in favour of passive contemplation and extinction of the will. In extended use: any system or philosophy that emphasizes human passivity and non-resistance.The Guida spirituale in which Molinos expounded his views was published at Rome in 1675, and condemned by the Inquisition in 1685.
