Nope. It's a one-way cryptography function, not a one-way encryption function.
Encryption is the art of rendering a message unreadable to everyone who does not possess a secret key. Encryption is, by definition, reversible. Hashing is, by definition, one-way.
Cryptography doesn't imply encryption, it can mean any of the following:
EncryptionBlock Ciphers
Stream Ciphers
Elementary ciphers (substitution, transposition, etc.)
[*]Authentication
Hash functions, HMAC, etc.
Password hashing functions
CMAC, Poly1305, GCM, etc.
[*]Key Exchange
Diffie Hellman, Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman[*]Digital Signatures
RSA, DSA, ECDSA, EdDSA[*]Public Key Infrastructure[*]Cryptographic Side Channels
Padding oracle attacks (RSA-PKCS1, etc.)
String comparison timing attacks
Cache-timing attacks
Fault-based side-channels
...and so much more.
There isn't a reputable cryptography engineer alive who would say that EdDSA is an encryption algorithm with a straight face. It's just as incorrect to say that a hash function is a form of encryption too.
