Weak anthropocentrism: A strong blow to the imbalance between the man and the nature.

Abstract

The lordship of man as the center of creation over everything that exists has generated, in the current context, an overexploitation of environmental resources, which puts even the very survival of the human person at stake, bringing to the fore the need for measures to harmonize relations between in duet man-nature; This research work was developed as a position study, which was based on the review of bibliographic references to clearly support how weak anthropocentrism can be the point of convergence between human behavior and the value of its environment. Within the search process, clear arguments were found as premises of weak anthropocentrism, including various postulates such as the existence of an ontological anthropocentrism, the acquisition of a moral anthropocentrism, the affirmation of the supremacy of weighted preferences, a change from optics towards the non-individualistic perspective, the humanist, protectionist and pathocentric theoretical bases and the rational principle as part of human conduct; It was concluded that each of these arguments make weak anthropocentrism a viable exit door from the labyrinth fostered by the trend towards resource consumption.
