Anthropocentrism is the belief that humans are the most important entity in the universe. In the context of sustainable development, anthropocentrism can lead to a focus on human needs and desires at the expense of environmental conservation and the well-being of other species. Overcoming anthropocentrism is crucial for achieving a more balanced and sustainable approach to development that considers the needs of both humans and the environment.

Non-Anthropocentrism is a term that describes when human beings do not regard themselves as the central and most significant entities in the universe, or the assessment of reality not exclusively through a human perspective.

I would begin with a definition of anthropocentrism. My casual definition of anthropocentrism would be a sort of human chauvinism. It is in essence the belief that humans are for some reason better or above other species. An anti-anthropocentric belief system would be one that rejects that belief system and the illogical presumption that humans are for some reason more worthy of anything than another species.

Ecocentrism is a worldview that considers nature and ecosystems as inherently valuable, independent of human interests. Anthropocentrism, on the other hand, places human beings at the center, viewing nature as primarily serving human needs and interests. Ecocentrism promotes a more holistic and interconnected perspective on the environment, while anthropocentrism tends to prioritize human well-being above all else.

It centers on the value of life.

(As a different example, Anthropocentrism centers on the value of humans.) It is an ethical view.
