Relating to or characteristic of opposition to humanist beliefs; rejecting the idea that human nature and human reason are the foundation of value and meaning.
From antihumanist + -ic (suffix forming adjectives). Developed in philosophical discourse during the mid-20th century alongside the rise of structuralist and postmodern thought.
Antihumanistic thinking in philosophy actually freed people from the pressure to believe humans are naturally good or that we can solve everything with logic—it acknowledged that we're sometimes controlled by systems we don't even see.
