The Dilemma of Sociocentrism and Culturocentrism in the Interpretation of the Phenomenon of Philosophy: an Anthropological Argument

Due to the multidisciplinarity ofmodern philosophy there exists a problemof conformance between disciplinary models of philosophy. Thus the socio-philosophical interpretation o f philosophy as a social phenomenon (sociocentrism) conflicts with its interpretation as a phenomenon o f distinct cultures (culturocentrism, i.e. eurocentrism or asiacentrism). The anthropological argument could be used to solve the dilemma o f sociocentrism and culturocentrism: the acknowledged by euroentrists thesis "All humans are philosophers". The anthropological argument disproves culturocentrism and serves as a point for sociocentrism.

Keywords: metaphilosophy, philosophy, sociocentrism, cultural centrism, eurocentrism, intercultural philosophy.
