A philosophical or theoretical position that emphasizes deviation from the normal, or the principle that abnormality is a fundamental aspect of existence.
From abnormal + -ism (suffix indicating a doctrine, system, or practice). A rare philosophical term combining the concept of abnormality with the '-ism' ending used for ideologies.
This is an extremely rare word, but it appears in philosophy of science: some thinkers argue that 'normality' is just the current state, and everything is actually abnormal relative to some other framework—making abnormalism a kind of philosophical relativism!
