Term: new age

DEFINITIONS

New Age: Name for a movement covering a wide variety of practices that were alternative to traditional Western practices, although many have become normative. Included concepts are holistic thinking, mysticism, environmental issues, non-traditional spiritual systems. The term “new age” has also be used by faddists and commercial interests. As a result, some people involved in practices that could be labled “new age” reject the expression.
