Integral Ecology and the critique of Anthropocentricism in Laudato Si' In Laudato Si, Francis regularly criticizes excessive anthropocentrism and seems to argue for, instead, an integral ecology that takes the intrinsic worth or dignity of all creatures seriously.

Excessive anthropocentrism is avoided precisely by taking human dignity (which is of course anthropocentric) seriously.
