Me propongo exponer sumariamente dos modelos de antropocentrismo. Uno de ellos, al que he llamado “antropocentrismo de mitad de escala”, alude, en grandes rasgos, a la posición de lo humano aparentemente predominante en el pensamiento antiguo y medieval. Los modelos de este antropocentrismo son Aristóteles y Tomás de Aquino. El otro modelo ha sido llamado “antropocentrismo concéntrico”; aquí los asuntos humanos ocupan una centralidad de características diferentes al anterior. Es el modelo aparentemente predominante en el pensamiento moderno y su desarrollo puede rastrearse entre Pico della Mirandola y Kant. De ambos modelos he intentado esbozar sus consecuencias políticas.
This article proposes to recover humanism, which is at the roots of Europe, as part of the solution to integrate the different cultures that are coming to our continent, as a result of immigration. After briefly analyzing the role of religion and secularism, as one of the basic characteristics of the modern West, we analyzed both the position that Maritain had at the time, and the current position of Pierre Manent, since both, with their differences, postulate a return to Christian humanism as a solution. Finally, the need for civil society to discover, based on that humanism, a new culture of social relations that is capable of seeing and managing diversity, is concluded.
