Anthropomorphism, Anthropocentrism, Mind-Body

The repudiation of Geocentrism by Heliocentrism entails the repudiation of Anthropocentrism, and, hence, threatens a Theology according to which the World is the stage for a Human drama.  Thus, one of the tasks of most Modern Philosophy, still under the influence of Medieval Theology in some regard, is to recover Anthropocentrism in some respect, the one notable exception being Spinoza's doctrine.  Now, a dimension of Anthropocentrism is Anthropomorphism, according to which the structure of the perceived World is derived from that of Human perception, a dimension that is not fully recognized as such until Kant.  But, Spinoza implicitly recognizes it, when he re-conceives Descartes' Anthropomorphic concept of the Mind-Body relation, aptly characterized by Ryle as 'ghost in the machine', as derived from the Thought-Extension relation of Attributes of Substance, perhaps as that of Form-Matter.  So, his allowing the possibility of a Modal Mind surviving the death of its corresponding Body undermines the premise of a Thought-Extension correspondence.  Instead, it does derive easily from Descartes' plainly Anthropocentric methodology, thereby suggesting a lapse from an Ethical doctrine that otherwise seems to aim at an adjustment to the new Heliocentrism.
