Historicism
Historicism is a term which applies to theories of culture or development which place the greatest weight on two factors: one is the organic succession of developments, and the other is that local conditions and peculiarities influence in a decisive way the results. It can be contrasted with reductionist theories which suppose that all developments are individual and ad hoc, and on the other hand that there is a universal and unilinear progression to development. Separate from these usages is the use of the word to denote using biblical prophecy as the lens to interpret all contemporary events.
