Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article discusses the need for Man to develop such a way of being in the World that would exclude the possibility of worldview and practical, anthropocentrism. It is noted that the Western way of being was initially anthropocentric. At the same time, anthropocentrism here appears in two modes as active and as passive. It is emphasized that the eastern way of being is ontologically acceptable, but it does not orient Man to be a co-worker of cosmogenesis. It is concluded that the desired way of being a person in the World can be grown from the synthesis of what is represented in the eastern and western ways of human being.
