Man and the Anthropocene

The paper focuses on how the field of philosophical thinking and especially philosophical anthropology critically copes with the issue of understanding of man in a new state of the natural and human world, which scientists in the field of natural sciences called the Anthropocene. The new perspective of man as a geobiophysical force which has the ability to change the environment to such an extent that it becomes a threat to the global environment brings new ways of thinking about man. Not only thinkers from the humanities and social sciences but also naturalists, express the urgent need to change the traditional anthropological discourse. The paper aims to capture the issue of man in the Anthropocene through the basic aspects that are most discussed in the works of authors focused on this issue
