Definitions

  1. a form of religious mysticism requiring withdrawal from all human effort and passive contemplation of God

Word origin

From quiet + -ism.

Used in a sentence

  • In its consistently logical form Quietism makes communion between man and God an impossibility by annulling the distinction between them, ultimately reducing God to a vague and empty abstraction, and dehumanizing man.
  • In von Hügel's estimation the real culprit that distorts “quiet” into Quietism, is any tendency to extreme dualism, particularly between body and soul.
