Etymology

From amoral + -ism.

Why this word is great

AMORALISM — [Noun] The doctrine advocating the absence of or indifference to morality. From amoral ("lacking moral sense") + -ism ("doctrine or belief"). Unlike immoralism (which defiantly inverts virtue) or moral skepticism (which questions its foundations), amoralism is a hollow neutrality—not defiance but vacancy, like a book whose pages were never printed rather than one burned. It is the surgeon who operates without regard for the patient's cries, the glacier that crushes a village yet still creeps forward, the algorithm that optimizes engagement by feeding rage. To embrace amoralism is to wear the world as a glove, not a mirror.

noun

  1. doctrine which advocates absence of, or indifference towards any morality.“Acknowledging the force of that intuition is, however, quite compatible with the possibility of amoralism.”
