This chapter addresses the theme of anthropocentrism in its various dimensions: ontological, epistemological, and ethical. First, a distinction is made between the anthropocentric perspective, which reflects the umwelt of the human being, and paradigmatic anthropocentrism, which constitutes a fully fledged anthropocentric ideology. This distinction is important because these are two distinct aspects that can sometimes converge and synergize, and at other times stand in opposition. Humanist anthropocentrism, as an expression of this ideology, for example, denies the existence of a human umwelt while simultaneously seeking to distance itself from anthropomorphism. At times, paradigmatic anthropocentrism is justified through the anthropocentric perspective by arguing that it is impossible not to be anthropocentric, given that we are human. In this chapter, I challenge these claims by demonstrating that it is possible to critically question both.
