- (noun): (US) IPA(key): /?h???t?k/
Noun
heretic (plural heretics)
- Someone who believes contrary to the fundamental tenets of a religion they claim to belong to.
- In the framework of traditional medical ethics, the patient
deserves humane attention only insofar as he is potentially
healthy and is willing to be healthy—just as in the framework
of traditional Christian ethics, the heretic deserved humane
attention only insofar as he was potentially a true believer and
was willing to become one. In the one case, people are
accepted as human beings only because they might be healthy
citizens; in the other, only because they might be faithful
Christians. In short, neither was heresy formerly, nor is sick-
ness now, given the kind of humane recognition which, from
the point of view of an ethic of respect and tolerance, they
deserve.
- In the framework of traditional medical ethics, the patient
- Someone who does not conform to generally accepted beliefs or practices
