A philosophical or ideological position that rejects humanism and the central importance of human beings, values, or concerns.
From antihuman + -ism (a doctrine). This emerged in 20th-century philosophy, particularly in poststructuralism and critiques of anthropocentrism.
Antihumanism might sound negative, but some philosophers argue it's actually liberating—if we're not always the center of everything, we might better understand ecosystems, other species, and our real place in nature.
