all-embracing

Leaving nothing out

All-embracing means including or encompassing everything or everyone within its scope: an all-embracing philosophy, an all-embracing vision for the future.

The term suggests comprehensive coverage without exclusion, often applied to worldviews, policies, or attitudes that aim to be universal rather than selective.
