厭世者 / 恨人類者 Misanthrope / Hater of Mankind

​● 字源

​Misanthrope 是一個源自古希臘文學、哲學與現代社會心理學的專有名詞。

​由 miso-(討厭、憎恨,源自古希臘文 miseō,意為「憎恨」)與 anthrop-(人類、人,源自古希臘文 anthrōpos,意為「人類」)組合而成;字面原意即為「憎恨人類的人(hater of mankind)」。

​指「一種對人性抱持深刻懷疑、批判甚至冷漠憎惡的個體;厭世者通常因看透社會虛偽、道德敗壞、貪婪與體制不公,進而選擇疏離人群、拒絕社交諂媚或公開批判人類弱點,此現象雖常被視為孤僻或冷酷,但在文學與哲學中,有時也扮演著刺破社會假象、警醒世人道德自省的清醒批判者角色(厭世者/憤世嫉俗者)」。

​同源詞:

​misanthropy(厭世/仇恨人類的傾向)

​misanthropic(厭世的/仇視人類的)

​misogyny(厭女症)

​anthropology(人類學)。

​心理與社會意涵:在社會心理學與哲學研究中,常用來區分「出於道德理想幻滅與清醒批判的理性疏離(critical detachment)」與「出於自我中心、盲目排外且否定一切善意的病態偏執(pathological hostility)」。

​中文譯為:「厭世者」、「恨人類者」、「憤世嫉俗者」。
