Anthropocentrism

the view that man is the center and the highest aim of the universe. Anthropocentrism is one of the most consistent expressions of teleology—that is, the ascription of extranatural goals to the world. In ancient philosophy, anthropocentrism was formulated by the Greek philosopher Socrates; later, representatives of the patristics, scholastics, and certain modern philosophers (for example, the German philosopher C. Wolff) espoused it. Certain elements of anthropocentrism may be seen as the theoretical orientation from which existentialism follows.
