Noun

apanthropinisation (uncountable)

1. (rare) The broadening of the ambit of one’s preoccupations and concerns away from a narrow focus on those things most palpably human and most closely pertinent to humanity.
   • 1880, Oct.: Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen [contrib.] and George Croom Robertson (editor) of the Mind Association, Mind, volume 5 (? 20), page 451 ^? (Williams and Norgate) · (also quoted, with scant little alteration, on page 292 of The Academy [? 18, 1880])

     In short, the primitive human conception of beauty must, I believe, have been purely anthropinistic — must have gathered mainly around the personality of man or woman; and all its subsequent history must be that of an apanthropinisation (I apologise for the ugly but convenient word), a gradual regression or concentric widening of æsthetic feeling around this fixed point which remains to the very last its natural centre.

   • 1881, Jan.: The Popular Science Monthly, volume 18 (1880–1881), page 344 ^? (D. Appleton); quoting verbatim, but not literatim, the text of the first occurrence in Mind [1880] hereinbefore (minor adjustments to Americanise the spelling have been made)

     In short, the primitive human conception of beauty must, I believe, have been purely anthropinistic — must have gathered mainly around the personality of man or woman; and all its subsequent history must be that of an apanthropinization (I apologize for the ugly but convenient word), a gradual regression or concentric widening of æsthetic feeling around this fixed point which remains to the very last its natural center.

     From this early, ‘anthropinistic’ stage, at which all aesthetic feeling is ‘gathered mainly around the personality of man or woman’, human aesthetic feeling gradually evolves in a process of apanthropinization, ‘a gradual regression or concentric widening of aesthetic feeling around this fixed point’,⁵⁹ and advances to the appreciation of beauty in nature.⁶⁰
