Definition
A philosophical or rhetorical approach based on using antitheses; the practice or doctrine of emphasizing opposites and contradictions.
Etymology
From antithesis + -ism (a practice or doctrine). This rare term describes a philosophical or literary method rather than a widespread belief system.
Kelly Says
Antithesism is a rhetorical style that became popular in the 1700s-1800s where writers deliberately structured arguments around opposing forces—it's very dramatic but can make ideas seem simpler than they actually are.
