maximalism
Where it comes from
From maximal + -ism, by analogy with minimalism.
noun maximalisms
- The opposite of minimalism: a tendency toward excess. With its romantic harmonies out of Berlioz, the 4½-hour “Einstein” score marked a passage out of Minimalism into a new genre that John Rockwell dubbed “Maximalism.”
- An ideology favoring radical or aggressive action to achieve expansive goals; the stance of maximalists. In other words, in contrast to supporters of Gahal and other advocates of territorial maximalism, they judged peace with their neighbors to be more important than Jewish sovereignty over as much of the Land of Israel as possible.
