Anthropocentrism is a branch of philosophy in which man is not only studied in society, but in his condition as a social factor, conductor of civilizations and builder of cities, it is the reference for everything that is devised and conceptualized. The main object of this doctrine is that man is the measure so that the whole is constituted and executed.
Anthropocentrism arises at the beginning of the modern age, a stage in which civilizations had evolved not only from the ethical, moral and judicial point of view, but also had acquired a rich knowledge of the various philosophies that were studied in the past. generations, so when carrying out studies and analysis of theories such as that of Theocentrism, they began to question it, here it gave way to scientific research on the origin of man beyond myths and divine, religious and biblical stories that governed societies.
The idea of man as a supreme being revolutionized all beliefs so far, to give way to a scheme of doctrines based on man as the independent one from the establishments of religions that forced communities to perform acts that began to be repelled by society over time. Nowadays in the current era, anthropocentrism establishes in the world a criterion of overcoming man on the difficulties that the planet itself and its components place on him in order to maintain that stigma of superiority.
Being the human mind, the one that is aware of its actions and therefore is the most developed, it is capable of creating environments that adapt to its needs and comforts. In view of this, the size, shape and capacity of man will be the primary variable when designing any law, objects, product or service in life in general. At present, anthropocentrism to show that the same consciousness that built a world for itself is the same one that tries to preserve the nature that it opposed in previous eras, it is ironic, but it has even sought spiritual help for the resolution of political, economic and environmental problems around the world.
