| Anti-humanism: Anti-humanism is a philosophical stance that critiques traditional humanism's focus on rational, autonomous individuals. It questions the centrality of "the human" in knowledge, ethics, and politics, emphasizing structures, language, and power relations instead. Thinkers like Foucault and Althusser argue that human identity is shaped by external forces rather than innate essence. See also Humanism, Posthumanism, Critical theory, Foucault._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
