A lack of enthusiasm or opposition to enthusiasm; indifference, apathy, or deliberate coolness toward something.
From anti- + enthusiasm (from Greek entheos, possessed by a god). This modern term describes the inverse of passionate engagement.
The Stoic philosophers exhibited antienthusiasm as a virtue—they believed passionate emotions could cloud judgment, so they cultivated calm detachment even toward things others found exciting or tragic.
