In painting, accidentalism is the effect produced by accidental lights.

Let us hope that somewhere in between essentialism and accidentalism lies some common sense.

Distributism does not favor one political order over another (political accidentalism).

In the 20th century the Integrists became even more ambiguous and some of them adopted accidentalism, prepared to accept a republican project.

While filming one of these short films he invented a new art movement called Accidentalism ("Accidentally made").

In the political sphere, some embraced accidentalism and employed the social organizations of Catholicism in order to defend themselves.

THE antithesis of essentialism might be called "accidentalism."

Accidentalism and catastrophism were two differing ideologies in Spain in the inter-war period.

Accidentalism may refer to:

As 1936 was to prove, however, for very many Spaniards the choice of accidentalism over fascism was a matter of tactics rather than conviction.

Art critics have noted Andre's work, classified as abstract expressionism, for its employment of the Surrealist techniques automatism and accidentalism.

On the other hand, ultraconservative vision of religion was shared by mainstream Carlists; as a result, Integristas rather unanimously decided to swallow their accidentalism.

His suspicions of the CEDA were nevertheless genuine and, given its refusal to abandon accidentalism and wholeheartedly embrace the Republic, reasonable.

Towards the monarchy Integrism remained ambiguous, with some sections of the party favoring different dynastical visions and some leaning towards accidentalism, prepared to accept a republican project.

The accidentalism and coincidentalism in the narrative pattern of the book stand, thus, in perfectly orderly correlation with the grounding mystery of the physically concrete and the natural.

Lucretius, who was also a supporter of accidentalism, similarly stated in De Rerum Natura, "Nothing in the body is made in order that we may use it."

Opponents of accidentalism maintain that what seems to be a chance occurrence is actually the result of one or more causes that remain unknown due only to a lack of investigation.

During the period of the Republic, he maintained the posture of "accidentalism": whether Spain was a monarchy or republic was less important than the law's compatibility with religious principles.

In philosophy, accidentalism denies the causal closure of physical determinism and maintains that events can succeed one another haphazardly or by chance (not in the mathematical but in the popular sense).

Senante, who viewed social conflict as part of the religious question, despised democratic platform of policy making, its malmenorismo and accidentalism; in return, Arboleya dubbed Integrism "a Catholic freemasonry".

These Platonic and Aristotelian arguments ran counter to those presented earlier by Democritus and later by Lucretius, both of whom were supporters of what is now often called accidentalism:

The willingness of so many conservative Spaniards, rich and not so rich alike, to embrace 'accidentalism' condemned the extreme, openly anti-republican right to a state of deceptive weakness between 1931 and 1933.

Preston believes that Gil-Robles was essentially a legalist fascist, whose policy of accidentalism would give way to legislating for a fascist dictatorship when he was confident that the populace was controllable.

Attracted by its similarly anti-modern, traditional and fanatical religiosity, the Integros decided to forget their accidentalism and in early 1932, still led by Olazábal, they joined a new Carlist organization, Comunión Tradicionalista.

Demonstrating some accidentalism and what was already becoming his typical conciliatory and non-belligerent tone, he rather advocated common work for Spain, be it a kingdom or a republic, far more important having been a new constitution, centered on traditional values.
