Modern Provenance
The word misology itself is first attested in English in 1833, and was used in Benjamin Jowett's 1871 translation of Plato's work, Dialogues: "as there are misanthropists or haters of men, there are also misologists or haters of ideas."
The term was also used by Immanuel Kant in a passage from his 1785 work, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten): "Misologie, d. i. haß der vernunft" translated by Thomas Kingsmill Abbott in 1895, straightforwardly, as: "misology, that is, hatred of reason."
