n aspect which has been largely overlooked within the contemporary debate over realism and anti-realism is the role of the ‘human’ that these contrasting theories presuppose. My thesis is that metaphysical anti-realism, specifically the one dealing with material reality (I am not speaking, for instance, of the one concerning social objects), is an anthropocentric approach to reality, notwithstanding all the reasonings that can be used in order to maintain it. By the term ‘anthropocentrism’, I am referring to the philosophical concept that considers humans to be the main beings in the universe. Specifically, anthropocentrism is expressed by the theory arguing that the species Homo sapiens has an ontological pre-eminence over reality. 1 I am grateful to the attendees who participated in the “Welcome Antispeciesism” debate that took place in December 2012 at the “Mangiacarte” bookshop in Catania, and to those who took part in the debate named “Being animals: a comparison between philosophy and psychology”, that took place in January 2013 at the “Enzo Tortora” association in 2.
