What are the opposite words for anthropological?

Anthropological indicates a study or research related to human societies, cultures, and behavior. Contrarily, the antonyms of this term are those that indicate an absence or deviation from the human perspective. For instance, "inhuman" suggests qualities that are opposite to human nature, or "unintelligible" that indicates a lack of understanding or comprehension about human behavior. "Agnostic" and "atheistic" are other antonyms used in the context of anthropological studies which refer to lack of belief or disinterest in the study of human cultures and societies. Thus, antonyms for "anthropological" represent ideas and ways of thinking which are distinctly different from the study of human societies and behavior.

Usage examples for Anthropological

Against the late anthropological Society charges of Atheism were freely levelled; and although such a charge does not seem to be justified by any reports of their meetings, or by their printed publications, it is clear that not only out of doors, but even amongst their own circle, it was felt that their researches conflicted seriously with the Hebrew writ.

Famous quotes with Anthropological

  • Has feminism made us all more conscious? I think it has. Feminist critiques of anthropological masculine bias have been quite important, and they have increased my sensitivity to that kind of issue.
    Clifford Geertz
  • In the works of the better poets you get the sensation that they're not talking to people any more, or to some seraphical creature. What they're doing is simply talking back to the language itself --as beauty, sensuality, wisdom, irony --those aspects of language of which the poet is a clear mirror. Poetry is not an art or a branch of art, it's something more. If what distinguishes us from other species is speech, then poetry, which is the supreme linguistic operation, is our anthropological, indeed genetic, goal. Anyone who regards poetry as an entertainment, as a read, commits an anthropological crime, in the first place, against himself.
    Joseph Brodsky
  • The shrinking world was becoming too small to permit a whole people to be set aside in a vast protected anthropological museum where they would try to perpetuate the merits and defects of a way of life that had vanished elsewhere, a way of life that - so long as it continued - would deprive millions of foreign people of the food and fibres that could have been grown on the land.
    Geoffrey Blainey
  • From what can "ought" be derived. The most compelling answer is this: ethics must be based on an appreciation of human nature — on a sense of what a human being is or might be, and on what a human being might want to have or want to be. If is naturalism, then naturalism is no fallacy. No one could seriously deny that ethics is responsive to such facts about human nature. We may just disagree about where to look for the most compelling facts about human nature -n novels, in religious texts, in psychological experiments, in biological or anthropological investigations. The fallacy is not naturalism but, rather, any simple-minded attempt to rush from facts to values. In other words, the fallacy is reductionism of values to facts, rather than reductionism considered more circumspectly, as the attempt to unify our world-view so that out ethical principles don't clash irrationally with the way the world .
    Daniel Dennett
  • [E]volutionists sometimes take as haughty an attitude toward the next level up the conventional ladder of disciplines: the human sciences. They decry the supposed atheoretical particularism of their anthropological colleagues and argue that all would be well if only the students of humanity regarded their subject as yet another animal and therefore yielded explanatory control to evolutionary biologists.
    Stephen Jay Gould
