Anti-Humanism

"Not to be confused with "

Anti-Humanism a philosophical theory that is critical of Humanism. Central to antihumanism is the view that philosophical anthropology and its concepts of "human nature", "human condition", "man", "humanity", "vitality", and "agency", etc. should be rejected as historically relative, ideological, or metaphysical. What it means by the statement, is that while humanists believe in objective truth about human nature, Antihumanism seeks to deconstruct the meaning behind "nature". This is not meant to be associated with, which sees the existence of human beings as undesirable.

Anti-Humanists such as Freud and Heidegger, for example, believe humanism takes the ideas of "metaphysics" or "rationality " and perverts them, which discredits those concepts of philosophy. Others such as Althusser, see Humanism as a false concept to justify elitist oppression by claiming property rights are human rights.

History
Anti-Humanism is accredited in a large part to Max Stirner and  Friedrich Nietzsche, in "The Ego And It's Own" (Stirner), and "Genealogy Of Morals" (Nietzsche). Many Anti-Humanists also believe that mature Marx was not a "humanist", as he believed that "humanism" was an unreal abstraction that masks conflicts between antagonistic classes; since human rights are abstract, the justice and equality they protect are also abstract, permitting extreme inequalities in reality.

Personality and Behaviour
Existentialist and subjective of humanity. Likes reading Heidegger, complains about idealism, and hangs out with Deep Ecology. HATES being called a misanthrope and refuses to associate himself with the VHEMT. When Humanism says something, Anti-Humanism goes of the way to criticize him.
