#philosophical jargon

• Antiscientific — Opposing science, the scientific method, or the rigorous spirit of research based on empirical evidence, logic, and experimentation. The term characterizes theories, doctrines, beliefs, or dogmatic manifestations that reject the validity of proven laws of nature, propagate superstitions or misinformation, and deny rational progress in favor of mystical, pseudoscientific, or ideological explanations.
• Antithetical — Containing an antithesis, based on an antithesis, or constituting a total, structural, and conceptual opposition to a previous thesis or assertion. In logic and philosophy (especially in Hegelian and Kantian dialectics), the term describes the contradictory phase or element opposing the initial thesis, facilitating the transition toward a higher synthesis. In literary criticism, it characterizes styles, characters, or motifs structured on striking and symmetrical contrasts.
• Anti-humanitarianist — Opposing humanitarianism or traditional philanthropic doctrines; a person who rejects the ideological or political vision based on universal humanitarian assistance, often viewing it as inefficient, paternalistic, or utilized as an instrument of geopolitical influence. In modern ethical debates, the term characterizes discourses or critical stances toward global non-governmental organizations and systemic charity policies.
