Systemgeist

[edit]

"Systemgeist" was "systematic thinking", then "regime spirit", now "regimented thinking". I'm not certain that "regimented thinking" really has the meaning nailed but "regime spirit" doesn't make any sense in English.

Other possibilities or somewhat related terms might be "methodical thinking", "rigid thinking", "rigorous thinking", "dogmatism", "formulaic thinking", "spirit of authority", "love of theory", "love of abstraction" . . .

Better suggestions welcome.
