Anthropic Principle and Anthropology

Abstract

The article is devoted to the anthropic principle and its importance for humanitarian knowledge. It is argued that in the Humanities this principle is not widely accepted and understood. He did not become fundamental in philosophical anthropology and as a consequence in education. It is accepted and justified in physics and cosmology. The recognition of this principle by the humanities means a worldview revolution comparable to the scientific revolution of Copernicus. Only in the opposite direction. The anthropic principle returns to man the lost central position in the Universe. Since the ideological anthropic principle is in good agreement with some provisions of Christian (Orthodox) anthropology, the paper discusses its main ideas. Also various formulations of the anthropic principle and criteria of successful development of science coordinated with the anthropic principle are given. It is argued that since the purpose of the formation of the universe is to create a human observer, all statements that do not take this fact into account do not have the necessary theoretical heuristics, and sufficient pragmatism.
