Antiphilosophy is an opposition to traditional philosophy. It may be characterized as anti-theoretical, critical of a priori justifications, and may see common philosophical problems as misconceptions that are to be dissolved. Common strategies may involve forms of relativism, skepticism, nihilism, or pluralism.

The term has been used disparigingly, but is also used with more neutral or positive connotations. In the early 1990's Alain Badiou conducted a series of Seminars with the generic topic "Antiphilosophy" and later adopted the word for a number of publications. Boris Groys's 2012 book Introduction to Antiphilosophy discusses thinkers such as Kierkegaard, Lev Shestov, Nietzsche, and Walter Benjamin as belonging to the tradition.
