exceptionalism
noun exceptionalisms
- The state of being special, exceptional or unique.
- The belief that something (a nation, species etc.) is exceptional, superior, or does not conform to an established norm. If Covid-19 eventually imbues human beings with some humility, it’s possible that we will, after all, be receptive to the lessons of this lethal pandemic. Or perhaps we will sink back into our culture of complacent exceptionalism and await the next plague that will surely arrive.
- A philosophy of prevention or of intervention.
