1. 1形式主義

    Formalism is a way of working — in art, religion, science, or law — that pays a lot of attention to the rules, the shapes, and the correct outer form, and much less attention to inner feeling or hidden meaning. An art critic who cares how a painting is built (lines, colour, structure) more than what story it tells is using a kind of formalism. In religion, people sometimes use the word when they feel the rites and the wording have become more important than faith. In maths and logic, it can mean treating a system as marks and rules you follow, without asking what the marks “really mean”. Though actually, the word is often a little cold, and sometimes a little : to call a practice formalism can mean you think people have the shell and have lost the heart. It is an ideas-and-essays word, not an everyday home word.

組成From formal + -ism (a system or way of thinking).
