Ambihumanism
noun
A philosophical approach that views humanity as existing within dualities or contradictory states—both part of and apart from nature, simultaneously rational and irrational, harmonious and disruptive. Ambihumanism embraces the paradoxes inherent in human nature, seeking to reconcile the multiplicity of human conditions without prioritizing one aspect over another.
Etymology & Example
Etymology:
From Latin ambi, meaning “both” or “on both sides,” and humanus, “human,” suggesting an embrace of dual or opposing human characteristics.
Example Sentence:
Her ambihumanism reflects a worldview that neither glorifies nor condemns humanity but rather examines the coexistence of beauty and flaw within it.
Antehumanism
noun
The philosophical or cultural stance that positions humanity as one of many forces within an ecosystem, neither superior nor inherently central. Antehumanism suggests a framework that views human experience and ethics as interwoven with, rather than dominant over, other forms of life and matter, often critiquing anthropocentrism and proposing a symbiotic rather than hierarchical perspective.
Etymology & Example
Etymology:
From Latin ante, meaning “before,” combined with humanus, “human,” indicating a mindset that transcends or predates strictly human-centered ideologies.
Example Sentence:
The artist’s work in antehumanism reframed urban landscapes as networks shared with countless non-human agents, challenging viewers to see beyond human-centric narratives.
Anteflect
verb
To reflect or consider something in advance, engaging in thoughtful contemplation or analysis before an action, decision, or event occurs. It involves preemptive introspection, anticipating outcomes or scenarios by examining them ahead of time.
Etymology & Example
Etymology:
From “ante-” (Latin for “before”) and “reflect” (to think carefully or consider), indicating the act of reflecting on matters prior to their actual occurrence.
Example Sentence:
Before making a major life decision, they took time to anteflect, considering all possible outcomes and implications.
