anomic (adj.)

1898年，源自法语 anomique（杜尔凯姆，1897年）； 参见 anomie。

A more important form of suicide is that which the author terms "anomic," by which he means the suicides produced by any sudden social shock or disturbance such as that due to economic disasters. Men commit egoistic suicide because they see no further reason for living, altruistic suicide because the reason for living seems to them to lie outside life itself, anomic suicide because they are suffering from a disturbance of their activity. [review of "Le Suicide" in Mind, April 1898]

作者称之为“无序自杀”的一种更为重要的自杀形式，指的是由任何突然的社会冲击或干扰引起的自杀，例如由经济灾难引起的自杀。人们会自杀是因为他们认为没有继续生活的理由，利他主义自杀是因为他们认为生活的理由似乎在生命本身之外，无序自杀是因为他们正在遭受活动的干扰。[Mind 杂志，1898年4月对《自杀论》的评论]

1919年也有“非法律”的意义。
