1 : considering human beings as the most significant entity of the universe
2 : interpreting or regarding the world in terms of human values and experiences
I think the second is most relevant. IMO, there is nothing we can say or think that's not conditioned by this prejudice.

Well of course not; we wouldn't be human otherwise. Of course, your saying that you wouldn't accept an anthropocentric explanation/response does you no good, because there is no way of avoiding it, and the mere fact that you do not want one would apply to your own anthropocentric tendencies (as defined in the latter way).
