Antiphilosophies

/ˌæntɪfɪˈlɑːsəfiz/ noun

Definition

Plural form: systems of thought or movements that explicitly reject or oppose philosophical approaches to understanding the world.

Etymology

Plural of antiphilosophy, formed by adding -ies. This represents the abstract concept of anti-philosophical thought patterns, from anti- (against) + philosophy.

Kelly Says

It's fascinating that 'antiphilosophies' exist as organized systems—what you might call philosophies *against* philosophy, making them somewhat paradoxical, like a vegetarian meat-eater.
