Anthropocentric world: delusion or reality?

Abstract

This article is devoted to the concept of anthropocentrism. The author analyzes a series of historical and contemporary events that are changing the foundations of social life, emphasizing their impact on global values and ideological conflicts. The article highlights the necessity of transitioning to an anthropocentric civilization, based on humanistic values and creating conditions for each individual’s self-realization. The author identifies global challenges such as migration, elite alienation, climate change, and the development of artificial intelligence, which require a new approach to social and economic organization. It is proposed to reestablish social and economic structures so that the most important criterion of social well-being becomes the individual happiness of each person and the development of human potential.
