Philosophy is human-centered because it uses humans as a measure of the universe. In my opinion, this is not necessarily wrong. Man is created in the image of God, so he is the crown of creation; unlike other powerful angels. However, a true philosophy is also center-centered, because the perception of God determines all aspects of a person's life.
Then, philosophy tries to understand the universe according to the character of God and man. True philosophy will balance God and man, because the second great commandment is the same as the first commandment. The philosophy of corruption either overemphasizes one or the other to varying degrees, or constitutes a dualism of these different tendencies; it seems like a man can walk with two curved canes!
Therefore, naturalistic rationalism is too anthropocentric, because God is portrayed as imparting knowledge to us too directly. In this case, we leave the equipment of our own thoughts to philosophical thinking about creation. Atheist materialism tends to be human-centered [except for situations like Foucault] and the god of total sin. Most of the time, man is his own god, or he is lost in the universe.
On the other side of the seesaw there is a mystic pantheism. Here, the centralist aspect of reality is overemphasized. In order to intuitively discover higher sacred truths about yourself and creation, one must feel a person with God. The mysterious polytheism almost negates human freedom. Therefore, in Hinduism, people must deny their own personality and try to realize their own divinity by becoming one with Brahmin.
In the first two cases, divinity is weakened into non-personalization, and human beings are promoted to the role of God's plenipotentiary. In the last two cases, the true God is completely neglected, and human beings are directly sublimated into divinity or indirectly through the absence of God. Polytheism is an empty centralism. It pretends to respect the gods, but truly turns them into personal extensions of people. So God is completely lost. The pantheists began to "overemphasize" the importance of God, and polytheists completely lost God. So atheism is an empty humanism. It pretends to respect men, but it really turns him into a machine, animals are even less, chemical reactions.
Then human beings are overemphasized as a dead end. Therefore, true philosophy is the right balance between God and man, creator and creation. In philosophy, the central and human-centered aspects need each other. Just stressing God, or mainly stressing that God is wrong, because God has devoted all his interest to human beings. It is also wrong to emphasize only people, or to emphasize people mainly; because it is his highest interest to have God. We can learn this from the Lord Himself, and the Lord points out that the second clause of the Great Commandment is the same as the first.
My understanding is that all the philosophy of corruption stems from the imbalance between the two aspects of philosophy. Christians may think they are doing well. But unconsciously, such as medieval scholastic philosophers, they put themselves in the center rather than God. God is only listed as a top stone to complete a powerful system. However, the wind of time has eroded in these pyramids of the human mind. Only what they really exist still exists.
However, true philosophy is not a huge system. Some people may be high above, but a living person, Christ. In him, God and man are in perfect balance! However, our own philosophical understanding must be a product of limited thought. Our thinking may have many benefits, but it always lacks these benefits. So they are really corrupt. No one on this side of the tomb can claim to be completely inspired by God. Not even the authors of the Bible. Because some of their works were not entered into the canon. Only those who are fully inspired by miracles are recognized. The wisdom of mankind, and the wisdom of the apostle Paul [in his daily life], never left a deep impression. All we can hope for is a derivative of wisdom and knowledge, that is, in our expression. However, for Pascal, I said that the inner reason is beyond rationality. We have mastered the absoluteness of God and his words, which is in the heart of super psychology.
