   The condition, character, aims, and habits of the class
   called Philistines. See {Philistine}, 3. [Recent] --Carlyle.

         On the side of beauty and taste, vulgarity; on the side
         of morals and feeling, coarseness; on the side of mind
         and spirit, unintelligence, -- this is Philistinism.
