A philosophical or religious system emphasizing oneness, unity, or a single principle, sometimes used in theological or metaphysical discourse.
From Greek 'hen' (one, neuter) + '-ism' (a system of belief or practice), related to philosophical terms like 'monism.' The prefix hen- appears in Greek philosophical vocabulary.
Henism is the opposite of 'pluralism'—it's what philosophers call the idea that everything is fundamentally one thing, and you'll find it lurking in Plato, mysticism, and some interpretations of pantheism!
