A religious or philosophical belief system emphasizing individual self-salvation or personal spiritual enlightenment.
From autosoteric + -ism (noun suffix for doctrines). Rare philosophy term combining self-directed salvation with systematic belief.
Autosoterism contrasts with missionary religions—instead of 'save everyone,' followers ask 'how do I save myself?' It reflects an ancient tension in spirituality between personal and communal salvation.
