My ears always perk up at the term because my philosophical mentor, George Sessions, who introduced me to RMP, Gary Snyder and Ed Abbey and other important influences in my life made his rep and wrote his masters on "Anthropocentrism and the Environment". His thesis fascinated me then and ever since. Anthropocentrism just means human centered. And i see it definitely as NOT the way things really are, but the way humans see them, or would like to see them.
