Opposed to or resisting levelling; describing something that works against making things equal or reducing differences in status or hierarchy.
From anti- (against) + levelling (from level, meaning to make equal or flatten). The term is primarily British and emerged in political and social discourse.
Antilevelling philosophy argues that some inequality is natural or beneficial for society—it's the opposite of egalitarianism—which is a perspective that shows up in debates about income inequality, education access, and social mobility.
