- Amoralism — A philosophical doctrine or attitude based on the negation of absolute moral values and norms, asserting that human actions or cognitive criteria must be evaluated completely independently of concepts such as virtue or sin. This current is often correlated with ethical nihilism, radical relativism, or interpretations of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy.
- Anti-moralism — A philosophical doctrine, theoretical attitude, or existential stance that denies, challenges, or rejects the universal validity of traditional moral norms, institutionalized ethical canons, and rigid values imposed by society. In a structural and conceptual sense, it represents a critical current of thought (historically associated with Nietzschean perspectives) that advocates for the individual's liberation from prefabricated moral constraints, without necessarily being synonymous with pure immorality.
- Apollonian — Pertaining to or relating to the god Apollo in Greco-Roman mythology; instituted in honor of Apollo. In philosophy of culture and modern aesthetics (specifically theorized by Nietzsche), the term describes an attitude characterized by harmony, order, balance, rational clarity, and structural measure, standing in direct opposition to the Dionysian spirit based on ecstasy, passion, and chaos.
- Apollonian — Pertaining to or relating to the god Apollo in Greco-Roman mythology; characterized by harmony, balance, rational clarity, measure, and formal perfection. In philosophy of culture (essentially theorized by Friedrich Nietzsche), the term describes the tendency toward order, the logic of individualization, and plastic structural beauty, serving as the perfect antonym to the Dionysian spirit based on ecstasy, chaos, and mystical fusion.
- Apollonianism — An aesthetic, philosophical, or existential attitude characterized by the exclusive adoption of the Apollonian spirit; the structural predilection for harmony, proportion, rational rigor, and emotional control in art and life. The concept denotes the value system that places formal architectural beauty above instinctual or passionate experiences.
