单词 isolationism
释义
isolationism

Philosophy
  • In aesthetics, the view that a work of art should be taken in isolation, understood entirely in its own terms and without reference to external factors such as its place in a tradition, or the social circumstances in which it is set, or the life or intentions of the artist (see intentional fallacy). The view is associated with the stress on pure aesthetic form celebrated by the English critics Roger Fry (1866–1934) and Clive Bell (1881–1965). The opposing position is contextualism.


World History
  • An approach to US foreign policy that advocates non-participation in alliances or in the affairs of other nations. It derives its spirit from George Washington’s proclamation of neutrality in 1793, and was further confirmed by the Monroe Doctrine (1823). It foiled Woodrow Wilson in his attempt to take the USA into the League of Nations (1919 and 1920), and it hindered Franklin D. Roosevelt’s support for Britain, France, and China before and during World War II, by ensuring passage of restrictive Neutrality Acts (1935–37). Present-day isolationists favour political and military withdrawal from overseas bases as well as the establishment of a “fortress America” protected by an elaborate modern military system.
