ntihumanism (or anti-humanism) is a term applied to a number of perspectives opposed to the project of philosophical anthropology. Central to antihumanism is the view that all notions of "human nature" or of "Man" or "humanity" in the abstract should be rejected as historically relative, or as metaphysical, as well as the rejection of the view of humans as autonomous subjects. Much as Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God in the nineteenth century, antihumanism proclaimed the death of "Man" in the twentieth.
The term is usually restricted to the realm of social theory and philosophy. Antihumanism does not equate to a rejection of Secular Humanism (capital "H") as an irreligious value system. In no common academic usage does it refer literally to some form of misanthropy.
