People in the academic community have been doing research on anthropocentrism for a long time. However, their appellation of anthropocentrism is diverse and can be summarized as following:the Anthropocentrism on Ontology, Anthropocentrism on Epistemology and Anthropocentrism on Ethics; Absolute Anthropocentrism and relative Anthropocentrism; Strong Anthropocentrism and Weak Anthropocentrism; Pre-Darwinian Style Anthropocentrism, Darwinian Anthropocentrism and Post-Darwinian Style Anthropocentrism, and so on. It can be said that every Anthropocentrism has its own logic and connotation, and rationality in a certain degree. Then, facing such a complicated situation, we need to clarify the exact meaning of anthropocentrism. But, it is unavoidable for us to encounter various difficulties even feel hard to start sometimes in this process. Nevertheless, we have to brace ourselves to give a precise definition of anthropocentrism for the purpose of reducing the current unnecessary, pointless debate on the problem that what is anthropocentrism on earth. This paper starts from the concept analysis of People "Category" Centrism and "Human" Centrism, respectively annotates the anthropocentrism by means of philosophy from ontological aspect, epistemological aspect and axiology aspect, therefore explores the dilemma that anthropocentrism facing today in this process of philosophical interpretation, and finally puts forwards the way to get out of the dilemma for anthropocentrism is the Existential of Heidegger’through the above analysis.
